Clinical and immunological features of drug-resistant tuberculosis in children and adolescents
Abstract
We studied characteristics of clinical progression and immunological indicators in children and adolescents with drug-resistant tuberculosis. Control group consisted of patients with drug-sensitive tuberculosis. It was concluded that drug resistance of M. tuberculosis adversely influences the clinical progression and results in markedly suppressed immune system indicators in children and adolescents.
