Abstract
The results of sanatorium treatment were analyzed in 156 children and adolescents aged 11-17 years at high risk for tuberculosis. All the patients had been long infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis with hyperergic tuberculin sensitivity; they had comorbidity and were susceptible to frequent respiratory diseases. A course of percutaneous low-intensity laser irradiation was incorporated as a new method into a complex of prophylactic treatment. The time course of changes in tuberculin sensitivity, serological values, and clinical data were estimated. The proposed treatment regimen was shown to have some advantage over the conventional treatment one.
