Nitric oxide NO* production by blood monocytes was studied in 53 patients with drug-sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and 50 patients with multidrug resistance (MDR) TB before and during the anti-tuberculosis therapy. Levels of NO* production were determined using the Griess's reactant. Increased levels of NO* secretion were observed before the treatment and after the intensive phase of therapy of drug-sensitive TB. However, it decreased after the full course of the anti-tuberculosis therapy. At the MDR TB the NO* production by monocytes was reduced before and after the intensive phase of treatment and increased after the end of the full course of therapy.
Key words: рulmonary tuberculosis, monocytes, nitric oxide.
