[The ceruloplasmin and lipid peroxidation indices in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis].

Blood ceruloplasmin, dienic conjugates and molonic dialdehyde was evaluated in 203 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and 40 blood donors. It was established that the level of dienic conjugates in erythrocytes was substantially elevated in patients with focal tuberculosis. In disseminated and infiltrative tuberculosis all above values were significantly elevated. In patients with fibrous-cavernous pulmonary tuberculosis the ceruloplasmin and dienic conjugates level was moderately increased while the level of molonic dialdehyde was distinctly elevated.
