FEATURES OF THE CLINICAL COURSE, PROBLEMS OF DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF A STABLE FORM OF PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS IN MODERN CONDITIONS.

Abstract

The work is based on examination data of 244 patients from the southern
regions of the Republic of Uzbekistan who received treatment in the centers of phthisiology
and pulmonology in the period from 2016 to 2020.
The age of the patients varied from 18 to 86 years, the mean age was 52.1±2.9 years.
Sick rural population was observed - in 185 (75.8%), urban population - in 56 (23.0%)
and homeless people - in 3 (1.2%) cases. The analysis noted that the disease was 3.3 times
more common in rural populations.
Incorrect interpretation of the results of diagnostic methods of research occurred in nonphthisiatric hospitals - in 63.5% of cases, and in polyclinics - in 29.5%, and in phthisiatric
hospitals this figure was - in 4.5% of cases.
The analysis of the results obtained indicates that in general clinical institutions, patients
are examined superficially, the full scope of the examination of patients is not performed
and inadequate treatment is carried out, which leads to the progression of the tuberculosis
process and the deterioration of the general condition of patients in this category.
