Abstract

The article presents a clinical case of cure of pulmonary mycobacteriosis (MB) with healing of a pathological cavity that developed as a result of Mycobacterium kansasii invasion. The combination of individually selected anti-mycobacteriosis chemotherapy and implantation of an endobronchial valve in the upper lobe bronchus of the right lung, draining the cavity, made it possible to achieve this result in a patient with a history of pulmonary embolism and other localizations of thrombosis, which was a contraindication for the lung resections.
