RESUMO
The results of treatment were analyzed in 118 patients with infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis. In patients with infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis, generation of therapeutic hypoventilation and atelectasis of the affected part of the lung by means of an endobronchial valve contributes to stabilization and regression of a tuberculous process, closure of decay cavities, and cessation of bacterial excretion.

The results of treatment are analyzed in 89 patients with disseminated drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis. The application of an endobronchial back valve to patients with drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis gives rise to hypoventilation and atelectasis in the affected areas of the lung, promotes the stabilization and regression of a tuberculous process, and it is not attended by the development of endobronchial complications.
