METHOD OF PREDICTING INCREASE OF VOLUME OF PULMONARY TISSUE INJURY AT INFILTRATIVE TUBERCULOSIS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G01N33/577 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method of forecasting increase in lesion of lung tissue with infiltrative tuberculosis includes determining the number of CD3+ CD25+, CD8+- and CD3+ cells, CD4+/CD8+ relations, as well as the number of monocytes, producing superoxide anion (O_2-) in the blood of patients with infiltrative tuberculosis. Based on the data obtained, the value of Y=-0.58+6.65X1+0.99X2+0.11X3-0.04X4-0.013X5 is calculated, where, X1 - CD3⁺CD25⁺ (10⁹/l), X2 - CD4⁺/CD8⁺ (relative units), X3 - CD8⁺ (%), X4 - CD3⁺ (%), X5 - the number of monocytes producing the superoxide anion (%) and for Y<1 predict infiltrative tuberculosis with a prevalence of no more than three segments of the lung, and at a value of Y≥1 predict the spread of infiltrative tuberculosis to four or more segments.

EFFECT: invention allows to increase the accuracy of the method for a specific nosological unit, to prevent distortion of the result.
