DEVELOPMENT STAGES OF MICROBIOLOGICAL AND RADIOLOGICAL

DIAGNOSTICS OF RESPIRATORY TUBERCULOSIS, FROM THE DISCOVERIES OF

R. KOCH AND W. RÖENTGEN TO THE PRESENT DAY FROM THE DIALECTICAL

MATERIALIST METHODOLOGY POINT OF VIEW

Complex solution of current scientific problems requires deepening, as well as the integration of social, natural and technical sciences. Dialectical materialist methodology has been and remains the basis of the natural-scientific knowledge, which needs to be developed today and skilfully applied in research work, including medicine.

In the course of dialectical materialism there was a qualitative breakthrough in microbiology and physics including three discoveries of R. Koсh, W. Röentgen, A. Becquerel in late XIX century,  after which the era of roentgenology and radiology in medicine had began allowing to solve problems in pulmonary tuberculosis diagnostics.

The current tuberculosis in full compliance with the laws and categories of dialectical materialism has changed significantly, as well as its structure, it turned into a more serious problem than before. There mycobacteria has become drug resistance and nowadays double epidemic of HIV and tuberculosis is threatened. Diagnostics and treatment of such patients requires additional efforts and new approaches.

Although the development of instrumental methods allows modern science and practice to identify subtle mechanisms of damaged organs and cells activity, dialectical materialism warns that fascination by these methods leads to the separation of private from the entire and a doctor objectively stays on the localizationism path, not to mention the loss of contact with the patient as with individual personality.

Keywords: pulmonary tuberculosis, X-ray, tomosynthesis, computed tomography of the chest, X-ray diagnostics, dialectical materialism.
