[Expression of intoxication syndrome in patients with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis discharging Candida fungi].

The severity of intoxication in tuberculous patients with destructive forms was quantified as the number of middle-size molecules. Diagnostic criteria for Candida infection are provided in the range from Candida carriage to invasive candidiasis basing on enzyme immunoassay and bacteriological examinations findings. Candida carriage is shown to be of little relevance to the intoxication progress and severity, whereas mucosal dissemination on the bronchial tree and subsequent development of the mycotic lesion affect intoxication symptoms aggravating tuberculosis course.
