Abstract

It has been ascertained that employment of low-frequency ultrasound therapy in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis may provoke the appearance of such side effects as total and focal reactions. These side events are of temporary character, they are not considered to be contraindications to continuation of treatment with ultrasound. The focal reaction needs to be assessed x-ray carefully since its appearance can provoke aggravation of the specific process.
