[Respiratory activity of the lungs as a sign of exacerbation of a lung tuberculoma]. / Respiratorische Lungenaktivität als eines der Merkmale der Exazerbation des Lungentuberkuloms.

From the clinical and roentgenological data of 82 patients with tuberculoma (progressing 55, stationary 27) the roentgenopneumopolygraphic semiotics of regional and generalized ventilation disorders is derived. In a non-active tuberculoma lung tissue often shows a regional hyperfunction. In the progress of the tuberculous process the symptoms of "surrounding hypoventilation" near the tuberculoma is seen. After ulceration of the tuberculoma sub- and segmentary zones of reduced respiratory function appear together with biomechanic respiration disorder, indicated by reduced planimetric and amplimetric respiratory parameters. A complex evaluation of respiratory parameters can serve as an objective criterion for the early detection of a reactivation of lung tuberculosis.
