The use of T-activin in combination with chemical drugs allowed to markedly increase efficacy of the treatment. As a result of the treatment significant improvement was found in 17 (41.5 per cent) out of 41 patients with marked disorders in cellular immunity and severe tuberculosis. At the same time in the patients treated with the chemotherapeutics alone the improvement was stated only in 18.5 per cent of the patients. T-Activin improved the indices of cellular immunity and eliminated imbalance in regulatory subpopulations of T-helper and T-suppressor cells.
