Abstrakt: Ninety adolescents with bacterial isolates of active forms of pulmonary tuberculosis were followed up. Drug resistance of Mycobacteria tuberculosis was revealed in 57 (63.3%) patients. Primary resistance was determined in 43 (47.7%) patients. The patients had not received antituberculous agents. Complete or partial coincidence of MBT resistance and sensitivity with the data of an infection focus. The course of tuberculosis during adequate treatment by using essential and reserve agents in the adolescents with varying MBT resistance was different. In patients (n = 18) resistant to 1-2 agents, the course of the disease little differed from that in those patients with drug-responding tuberculosis, except for later closure of decay cavities. In patients resistant to 3 drugs or more showed a slow course of the disease with significant residual changes in most patients.
