Summary:Connective tissue dysplasia is a systemic process that modifies the clinical picture and course of an acquired pathology. To search additional criteria for differential diagnosis, connective tissue metabolic parameters were studied in patients with infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis and nosocomial pneumonia. A significant excess of the parameters of free urinary oxyproline and serum glycosaminoglycans was found in patients with infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis.
