Abstract
The article examined the case of a 16-year-old teenager with infiltrative tuberculosis complicated by atelectasis and bronchial stenosis, who was being treated at the Republican Scientific and Practical Center for Pulmonology and Tuberculosis for 8 months.
The aim of the study is to discuss the effectiveness of the balloon dilation method in the treatment of adolescents with infiltrative tuberculosis complicated by atelectasis and bronchial stenosis. Comprehensive examination of patient using diagnostic scales K. A. Kovalchuk/Freitag, classification of stenoses according to computed tomography and fibrobronchoscopy, obstruction scale according to spirometry, allows to timely assess not only the degree of impaired bronchial patency, determine the indications for the balloon dilation method and assess its effectiveness, as well as prevent irreversible changes in the lung and avoid surgery.
