[Analysis of work in ambulatory military medicine].

This paper describes the work of a military physician in an army healthcare institution and the scope and aim of activity of medical corps. The analysis includes data collected over one year and shows that officers and non-commissioned officers are more frequent users of medical services than conscripts. The consumption of medical products is high in both populations. The military physician has to face a number of organisational difficulties in everyday practice which diminish the quality of health services. Resolving these difficulties is a priority, especially in view of high healthcare and organisational standards set by NATO, which are eventually to be adopted and maintained by the Croatian medical corps in the process of joining. One of the tasks with that aim is to provide a continued medical training for military healthcare personnel.

[Diagnostic evaluation of military recruit who was accidentally found positive on hepatitis C virus test: case report].

The paper reviews diagnostic evaluation of a military recruit who was accidentally found positive on hepatitis C virus test during blood donation drive. Because of its high tendency of transferring to a chronic disease, acute hepatitis C is one of the major problems in public health. Since in a number of cases chronic hepatitis C may lead to cirrhosis of the liver and hepatocellular carcinoma, it is clear that early identification of the infection and early treatment in young people, as military recruits are, is essential. Diagnostic and therapeutic evaluation of the military recruit positive on hepatitis C virus test must be conducted with maximum thoughtfulness and dedication. It is obligatory to inform and include in the treatment recruit himself and more specialists of various branches of medicine. Inclusion of a military psychologist and commanding officer in evaluation and treatment is desirable. Popular health education and preventive medicine measures must be taken by troop physician in such case.
