Abstract

Background. More than half of the patients registered with the antituberculosis dispensary for pulmonary tuberculosis undergo examination and treatment in the general medical network of the republic before hospitalization in the dispensary. Often, similar clinical and radiological picture of pulmonary tuberculosis and other lung diseases is the cause of frequent diagnostic errors.

Objective. Analysis of the situation in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis in the antituberculosis and general medical network.

Methods. The results of the examination of 1318 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in the antituberculosis and general medical network of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic in the period from January 2018 to December 2022 were analyzed.

Results. When analyzing the results of the examination of tuberculosis patients, it was found that more than half of them (59.9%) received an average of 23.3 ± 6.8 kcal/day during inpatient treatment in the general medical network (GMN) before admission to the dispensary; half of them (46.5%) were found to have bacterial excretion during examination in the antituberculosis dispensary. In addition, bacillary pulmonary tuberculosis patients remained in the GMN somewhat longer (26.6±6.9 bed-days), which led to a destructive course, as well as an increase in the frequency of errors in the differential diagnosis of infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis and community-acquired pneumonia, which reached 30–68%, and the time to establish a diagnosis exceeded 1–3 months.

Conclusion. In order to quickly diagnose patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and reduce «unjustified» lung surgeries in patients with tuberculosis in GMN, it is necessary to properly organize the work of the GMN, namely, to introduce modern methods of etiological diagnosis of tuberculosis, organize a consultation with a phthisiatrician or an analysis of a specific clinical case at pulmonology commissions before thoracic surgery for an unspecified lung disease.
