The course of infiltrative tuberculosis making up 53.2% in the pattern of clinical forms was investigated in 64 adolescents. Infiltrative tuberculosis morbidity among the girls is 3 times higher. The main detection method is represented by a planned roentgenofluorographic examination, since in the region in question infiltrative tuberculosis tends to have limited symptoms in 56.2% of the adolescents, including 30.5% of them even with disseminated process. In 60.9% of the cases, infiltrative tuberculosis is observed to have a decomposition phase which is 4.5 times more frequently traced in patients living in contact with a bacillary ++carrier . In 8% of the patients, infiltrative tuberculosis was complicated by hemoptysis. Infiltrative tuberculosis in 32.8% of the adolescents manifests itself in a pulmonary form of primary tuberculosis. Due to a complex treatment hemodynamic indices are normalized by the end of the first month in addition to the removal of the intoxication signs by the third month. Cavity closure was achieved in 71.8% of the patients. Despite the given therapy, transformation into the destructive forms of tuberculosis took place.

Although many of the pulmonary manifestations of tuberculosis in the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) are well known, endobronchial involvement has not been previously described. We report the clinical, roentgenographic, and bronchoscopic features of three patients with endobronchial tuberculosis and AIDS. All of the patients had nonspecific symptoms of fever and cough; however, none exhibited the classic findings of dyspnea, wheezing, or hemoptysis. Smears of sputum were nondiagnostic. The chest x-ray film revealed mediastinal adenopathy in two patients and a lower lobe consolidation in the third; all had small ipsilateral pleural effusions. Endobronchial lesions were white or pink exophytic masses obstructing the airways, mimicking bronchogenic carcinoma. Areas of "classic" primary tuberculosis were seen in two of the patients. Despite ongoing clinical and roentgenographic deterioration, all patients responded well to antituberculosis medications. Given the frequency of tuberculosis in patients with AIDS and AIDS-related complex, one should maintain a high index of suspicion for involvement of the tracheobronchial tree, so as to avoid a delay in diagnosis and resultant increased morbidity and mortality.

The authors have analyzed their experience in the diagnosis and treatment of 32 patients with broncholiths-induced obturation of the segmentary and lobar bronchi with subsequent prolonged recurring inflammatory, cirrhotic or suppurative bronchopulmonary processes farther to a site of bronchial obstruction. 37% of the patients only knew of primary tuberculosis. Chest pains were noted in 50%, hemoptysis in 40%. The rest of the symptoms were not characteristic. Therefore true diagnosis was established, as a rule, in a late period. Patients with broncholiths were treated for many years with the diagnosis of recurring pneumonia, cirrhotic or suppurative processes. Bronchoscopy is a method of choice because broncholiths can be found in a visible zone of the bronchial tree. The earlier bronchoscopy is performed, the easier and better can be the patients' cure.

This review describes diagnosis and management of sequelae of post-primary tuberculosis. It addresses elementary lesions such as bronciectasis, fibrostenosis, cavitation and broncholithiasis, the more complex situation of destroyed lung, and complications such as aspergilloma, hemoptysis and broncho-esophageal fistula.
