[Lymphatic scanning in the diagnosis of tuberculosis of the male genital organs].

Lymphoscanning was performed in 149 patients with tuberculosis and chronic non-specific inflammatory diseases of the male sex organs. The patients were divided into 3 groups: I--73 patients with an active tuberculous process, II--22 patients with an inactive process, III--54 patients with chronic non-specific inflammatory diseases of the male sex organs. Intrafunicular (in the affection of the external sex organs) and paraprostatic (in the affection of the internal sex organs) administration of 198Au-comisole was developed and employed for lymphography followed by lymphoscanning 1 day after RP administration. The results of lymphoscanning have shown that the indices of the visualization of the groups of regional lymph nodes and the intensity of RP accumulation in them were the most informative.
