Abstract
The aim was to study the features of tuberculosis treatment in patients over 60 years of age.
Materials and methods. The results of a prospective study of 76 tuberculosis patients over the age of 60 newly diagnosed in 2018-2023 in the Yaroslavl and Kostroma regions were analyzed. The study covered the period from the diagnosis of tuberculosis to the completion of the main course of treatment.
Results. All patients required inpatient anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy. Standard doses of anti-tuberculosis drugs were used in only 40% of patients. In most cases, dose reductions and individualized regimens were required. Adverse reactions occurred in 60.5% of cases, requiring discontinuation of anti-tuberculosis medications or treatment interruption. Clinical cure was observed in 80.9% of cases attributed to the development of individualized antituberculosis chemotherapy regimens, the application of pathogenetic treatment, including therapeutic nutrition.
