The research of the exhaled breath condensate to evaluate the local homeostasis in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis

Abstract

The research of the exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is important in the study of a number of indicators that characterize the local homeostasis of the respiratory system. The aim of the research was to study the direction and the degree of the changes in the EBC LC-spectra of the patients with tuberculosis according to the clinical nature of the tuberculous process established certain patterns of metabolic changes of a local nature. The noninvasiveness of the laser correlation spectroscopy (LCS) method, the high sensitivity and speed of the native material research opens up the possibility of using it in phthisiology.
