FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to therapy and phthisiology. A laboratory study is carried out - a general blood test. The following indicators are determined: the number of erythrocytes (mln in μl), the level of hemoglobin (g / l), the number of leukocytes (thousand in μl), the erythrocyte sedimentation rate - ESR (mm / h), the number of monocytes (%), the number of stab neutrophils (%), the number of segmented neutrophils (%), the number of lymphocytes (%). Then, according to the original formula, the sum of the numerical values of each of the signs (z) is calculated. Then the probability of tuberculosis and pneumonia is calculated according to the original formula. If the probability is higher than 50%, the patient must be hospitalized in a specialized tuberculosis institution or department for further examination and subsequent treatment, since tuberculosis is likely. With a probability value below 50%, hospitalization in a pulmonary hospital is possible.
EFFECT: method allows for differential diagnosis between tuberculosis and pneumonia with high sensitivity and specificity.
