[Determination of risk factors for tuberculosis in children having contact with tuberculosis patients].

Analysis is given of the specific and nonspecific features in 100 tuberculosis patients and 500 children aged under 7 years having contact with tuberculosis patients. A complex of factors with a high prognostic value was defined from the set of the studied features and a scale for determining the tuberculosis risk in children was constructed. Estimating the risk degree by a prognostic table, allows one to define children at a high and maximal infection risk for the individual choice of preventive measures.
