[Immunological bases of tuberculin therapy in combined treatment of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis].

Mantoux test with 2 TU and tuberculin test results gave evidence for the pattern of body responses. A form of tuberculin therapy is suggested. The latter is shown to stimulate a spontaneous and BCG-enhanced NBT test (p < 0.05) and specific desensitization in the absence of humoral immunity changes (IgM, IgG, IgA and titers of circulating antituberculous antibodies).
