Abstract
- The paper analyzes a contingent of children and adolescents from a tuberculous sanatorium in 2000-2002. It was established that the children and adolescents with local forms of tuberculosis amounted to 14.5%, the children with a variety of tuberculin reactions were 33.5%; the children infected with tuberculosis and risk factors were 42.1%; the total proportion of children who had contacted patients with tuberculosis was 31.7% of the whole contingent of the sanatorium, i.e. about a third. In addition to different manifestations of tuberculous infection, nonspecific abnormalities were detected in 96.4% of the children and adolescents, in the vast majority they being first diagnosed at the sanatorium. The foregoing suggests that a children's tuberculosis sanatorium is of great medical importance under the present conditions.
