Abstrakt: The study included 72 patients with infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis who were divided into two groups: a study group (n = 39) showing adverse reactions to antituberculous drugs and a control one (n = 33). Examination of life quality parameters by MOS SF-36 scale revealed a reduction in the parameters characterizing the physical and psychosocial status of the patients, which was more pronounced in those with adverse reactions to chemotherapy within the first 2 months of treatment. The revealed changes make it necessary to implement additional therapeutic and psychotherapeutic measures in the first months of treatment for tuberculosis.
