Abstract
- The outcomes of treatment of 110 homeless patients with tuberculosis admitted to Moscow City Clinical Hospital No. 7 in 1993-1996 were followed up. All homeless persons have various concurrent diseases, such as alcoholism, chronic nonspecific diseases of the lung, diseases of the cardiovascular system, kidney, liver, etc., which require their treatment by physicians of different disciplines. Good results of treating the homeless may be obtained when rehabilitative services are used and hospital treatment is performed for at least 4 months. All homeless patients who admitted to general hospitals are to be physically, roentgenologically, and bacterioscopically examined whether they have tuberculosis.
