| Purpose. To assess changes in lung microcirculation in patients with destructive tuberculosis (TB) in early and long-term periods after surgical treatment with the help of perfusion scintigraphy. |
Federal State Budgetary Institution “Central TB Research Institute”. Moscow, Russia. |
Materials and methods. A total of 62 patients with destructive TB were examined with drug resistance to mycobacterium tuberculosis. All the patients underwent perfusion scintigraphy with МАА99мТс introduction for assessment of regional lung function. Radio-nuclide studies were performed using SPECT «Nucline Spirit DH-V». Results. The radionuclide study on molecular level is a highly informative method of radiodiagnostics aimed to assess dissemination, localization and activity of tuberculosis (TB) process in destructive pulmonary TB cases. Conclusion. In the article, we describe types of surgery, time schedule for radionu-clide studies. We represent a scintigraphic assessment of regional lung function outcomes using МАА99мТс before and after surgery: segment resections, lobectomies, combined re-sections. We also provide the interpretation of scintigraphic studies investigating the causes of impaired pulmonary capillary bed reduction in destructive pulmonary TB cases with mul-tidrug resistance.
Keywords: destructive pulmonary TB, МАА99мТс, microcirculation, perfusion scintigraphy, single-photon emission computed tomography.
