Peculiarities of sarcoidosis course in patients with persistence of granular mycobacteria
Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine an influence of granular mycobacteria on sarcoidosis course, to develop the most effective treatment schemes and to evaluate treatment delayed results.
Granular mycobacteria were found in blood, sputum and broncho-alveolar washings of 57 % of sarcoidosis patients and 65 % of tuberculosis ones. Granular mycobacteria were revealed using highly sensitive specific staining by fluorochrome dyes and luminescent microscopy. Those microorganisms were painted like acid-stable Micobacteria tuberculosis from small-granular forms to large-granular ones (0.1 to 0.8 m cm in a diameter).
Granular mycobacteria were looked for in 93 sarcoidosis patients. They were revealed in 59 patients and were not revealed in 34 ones. Granular mycobacteria have been detected most often in sarcoidosis patients with wide spread forms, extra pulmonary lesions and reccurent course . An analysis of treatment results of sarcoidosis patients in remote period demonstrated that they were significantly worse in patients with presence of granular mycobacteria using both basic therapy (steroids) and combination with plasma pheresis. Granular mycobacteria were considered to be a burden in the disease course and require further improvement in treatment methodics.
