[Long-term results of prolonged treatment in patients with fibrosing alveolitis (prophylactic medical examination)].

The results of a long-term (5-10 year) follow-up were studied in 109 patients with alveolitis, including 89 with EAA and 20 with IFA. A variety of treatments were applied. The predominant treatments were hormonal therapy supplemented by plasmapheresis, physiotherapy, oxygen therapy, etc. A follow-up of patients with alveolitis was made by 3 groups. Group 1 was compensated--Stage 0; Group 2, subcompensated--Stage II; Group 3, decompensated--Stage III. The control periods and scope of examinations were defined for each group. The Regulations governing the prophylactic medical examination of patients with alveolitis were worked out. Among patients with EAA, good results, such as improvement and stabilization of the process, were observed in 34.8% of cases, poor results, such as recurrences were in 53.6%, death rates were 3%. Among patients with IFA, good results were achieved in 15% of cases, recurrences and progression were in 10 and 30.7%, respectively, death rates were 40%.
