Abstract
|
|
|
There has been no general consensus as to basal metabolism rate(BMR/in tuberculous
pleuropulmonary diseases although many reports on the subject have appeared in the
medical literature. Furthermore, no extensive studies are assailable on BMR in patients
with pleural diseases and in those receiving antituberculous chemotherapy.
The author determined BMR in 225 cases of tuberculous pleuro-pulmonary diseases,
all of whom except for a few cases with fibrothorax were under chemotherapy for
various length of time in various combinations. The results retreated marked individual
variations regardless of extent and type of the disease process. However, in tile ma
jority of cases BMR fell between ± 15%, and mean values in minimal and moderately
advanced tuberculous and pleural diseases were found close to 0%. In far advanced
tuberculosis, on the contrary, mean value was 10.4% which is significantly higher than
that of other groups of patients.
It was concluded that BMR is within normal range in most of cases with tuberculous
pleura pulmonary diseases, but elevated values were more frequently found in far
advanced pulmonary tuberculosis.
