The paper presents the first experience in the surgical treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis (PT) in
19 (14 and 5) patients who had the novel coronavirus infection (NCI) in the pre- and postoperative periods,
respectively). A comparative analysis was carried out in 11 patients with newly diagnosed PT who had been
receiving anti-tuberculosis therapy (ATT) for 3-12 months and had experienced mild and moderate NCI before
surgery and in 16 similar patients who did not have NCI. In patients with new-onset PT who had been
receiving ATT for no more than 2 months, the high activity of tuberculosis inflammation in both groups was
associated with the progression of tuberculosis and correlated with the detection of multiple or extensively
drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR/XDR MBT) in the surgical material. Both groups showed no
differences in the duration of surgery, the amount of intraoperative blood loss, the duration and volume of
exudation, the postoperative leakiness of the operated lung, and the total duration of drainage. The results
of a morphological study of the surgical material point to the fact the histological pattern of caseous
necrotic foci and the structural and functional state of their surrounding lung parenchyma suggests in most
cases that the inflammatory process exhibits a low or moderate activity that is equally pronounced in both
observation groups and independent of NCI experienced during ATT. The high activity of the process is
characteristic of patients with an exacerbation of chronic tuberculosis, among whom MDR/XDR MBT was detected
in the surgical material. There was no reactivation of the tuberculosis process in patients who continuously
received ATT and successfully underwent surgical interventions for disseminated tuberculosis, in those who
fell ill with COVID-19 in the late postoperative period. Thus, NCI is not a significant risk factor for the
progression of the tuberculosis process in patients receiving ATT.
