Based on the results of light optic and electron microscopic studies of lung tissue biopsy specimens from patients with disseminated tuberculosis (n = 31), sarcoidosis (n = 46), exogenous allergic alveolitis (n = 22), the authors present a set of various morphological signs of specific inflammation, which are detectable both in the area of a focus and in its adjacent sites. The set allows the diagnosis of the most common granulomatoses of the lung to be verified.
