Pathogenesis mechanisms of tuberculosis have been considered. It is shown, that important place in pulmonary tuberculosis therapy should belong to the means of pathogenetic therapy directed to the improvement of pulmonary circulation and living conditions of cells of lung parenchyma, restoration of local tissue immunity, including macrophage system and other defensive mechanisms, synthesis and secretion stimulation of surfactant, and use of surfactant medications.

Modern patho-physiological mechanisms with the help of which tobacco smoking contributes to the development of cardiovascular pathology are represented in the review. The most significant of them are endothelial dysfunction, progressing of atherosclerotic processes, alteration of rheologic properties of blood, increase of carboxyhemoglobin levels, activation of sympathetic nervous system of the heart.
