Incidence of bronchoobstructive syndrome in patients seeking phthisiopulmonologist

Abstract

On the basis of examination of 5020 patients during 1991—1997 it is concluded that each third patient had bronchobstructive syndrome. If in disseminated and fibrocavernous tuberculosis the aggravation of bronchi permeability was found in each second patient, so in chronic obstructive bronchitis — in all patients. At the same time in sarcoidosis, in idiopathic fibrosing alveolitis this syndrome was rarely found. The analysis of 155 cases of the use of atrovent as an acute test with broncholithic showed the high efficiency of this cholinoblockator in significant obstruction and minimal effect in patients without ventilational insufficiency.
