Abstrakt: Of 190 children under 14 with nonspecific pulmonary diseases (NSPD) 32.4% had lingering pneumonia, 20.9% recurrent bronchitis. 54% of lung disease hospital inpatients had M. tuberculosis. Normergic and hyperergic tuberculin sensitivity was revealed in 85.6 and 14.4% of cases, respectively. 20.5% of the examinees had inverted reactions. Clinical symptoms were slight in 13% of children. The rest had evident disease. The addition of antituberculous drugs to nonspecific therapy in 10.2% of the children has improved treatment outcomes.
