Popis: The antituberculosis effect of tubosan registered in the Russian Federation as an immunostimulant drug has been studied on a series of 53 clinical strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MBT). It is established that tubosan produces a bactericidal effect on drug-sensitive MBT strains and a bacteriostatic effect on resistant MBT strains. Use of tubosan for the treatment of 102 patients with drug-resistant destructive tuberculosis showed evident clinical-radiological involution process, with prospects of clinical recovery for 75% of patients. Results of this study show that tubosan possesses both antituberculosis and immunostimulant properties. It is recommended to use tubosan for complex treatment of patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis.
