NEW APPROACHES TO THE DIAGNOSIS OF ACUTE PURULENT-DESTRUCTIVE LUNG DISEASES

Diagnosis of acute purulent-destructive lung diseases is an urgent problem of modern medicine despite its long history. In this regard, the currently known achievements in the field of pulmonology, thoracic surgery and intensive care, including the entire arsenal of effective antibacterial drugs of the new generation, acute purulent-destructive lung diseases still retain their extreme prevalence and threat to human life. In this regard, our study aimed to increase the effectiveness of methods for early diagnosis of acute purulent-destructive lung diseases. As a result of the study, we proved the high diagnostic efficiency of computed tomography in detecting changes in the lung tissue in their acute purulent-destructive diseases, which makes it possible to timely and accurately determine the localisation and extent of the pathological process and identify the presence of destruction cavities in the lung tissue. From a practical point of view, we have proved that computed tomography is the main method for diagnosing acute purulent-destructive lung diseases and an effective method in assessing treatment dynamics.
