METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING ORIGIN AND PROGRESSION OF PERIBRONCHIAL PNEUMOSCLEROSIS IN PATIENTS WITH INFILTRATIVE TUBERCULOSIS WITH CONCOMITANT CHRONIC BRONCHITIS

摘要

The method for diagnosing the origin and progression of the peribronchial pneumosclerosis in the patients with infiltrative tuberculosis with concomitant chronic bronchitis comprises the general clinical examination in combination with assaying collagen type IV in bronchoalveolar fluid. The value of at least 117.31±3.41 ng/mL suggests the condition facilitating the origin and progression of the peribronchial pneumosclerosis of the lungs.
