METHOD FOR PREDICTING TUBERCULOSIS ACTIVITY IN RESPIRATORY ORGANS Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: the suggested innovation deals with predicting tuberculosis and could be applied in specialized antituberculosis establishments. The method includes diagnostics of tuberculosis activity of juvenile respiratory organs at calcitonitis in pulmonary tissue and intrathoracic lymph nodes according to results of complex clinical and laboratory trials. Additionally, one should carry out sonoluminescence analysis of blood plasma portion, measure integral background luminescence level Σb, within 3000-7000 A wave length in the mode of photons calculation, integral luminescence level of distilled water Σw, integral luminescence level of blood plasma Σpl, then calculate normed integral luminescence coefficient of blood plasma Cn by the following formula: and at values ranged 0.25-0.47 one should state upon active tuberculosis process, and at values being above 0.47 tuberculosis activity is excluded. EFFECT: higher simplicity and efficiency of cheaper diagnostics. 2 ex
