Dynamics of life quality in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis against the background of the appointment of an essential amino acids complex

Abstract

Objective — to investigate the dynamics of life quality in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis against the background of the appointment of an essential amino acids complex. Materials and methods. The study included 100 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis who received treatment and diagnosis in accordance with the WHO recommendations and current state protocols. The patients were divided into 3 groups: group 1 (n = 50) did not receive additional complex of amino acids in pathogenetic therapy; group 2 (n = 25) received a complex of amino acids in tablet form for 30 days; group 3 (n = 25) received injectable amino acids complex for 10 days and then was transferred to tablet form for 20 days. At the beginning of treatment, after 30 days and after 60 days, the patients were interviewed using the SF-36 questionnaire. Also, the patients were measured the level of Human-beta-defensine-1 in the blood plasma by ELISA at the beginning of treatment. Results and discussion.
