CLINICAL CASE OF DEVELOPMENT OF CHRONIC BRONCHITIS WITH DESTRUCTIVE TUBERCULOSIS

Аннотация

Air pollution has always been a concern due to its harmful effects on human health. A person can live several days without water, a month without food, but only a few minutes without air. The growing number of epidemically dangerous active forms of tuberculosis in the world, as well as the high mortality rate of the population from bronchial pathology make it one of the most pressing problems of modern medicine and health care. The incidence of respiratory tuberculosis is associated with the level of atmospheric pollution with hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. Air pollution has a negative impact on human health and is one of the causes of allergies, tuberculosis and respiratory diseases. This is determined by emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere, weather conditions and dust storms. Natural sources of air pollution are vegetation fires, dust storms and decomposition of organic matter. Sources of atmospheric pollution are industrial enterprises and thermal power plants, transport, heating systems of residential buildings, agriculture, and household waste. Among bronchopulmonary diseases, the most common are chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchial asthma and tuberculosis of the respiratory organs.
