[Tuberculosis morbidity in medical workers and the measures for their social protection].

Tuberculosis morbidity among the medical workers has been studied in 39 territories of Russia. It has been established that medical personnel contract tuberculosis much frequently than the population of Russia on the whole. Morbidity is particularly high among the personnel of institutions of the antituberculous service, being 293.3 per 100,000 working subjects. Tuberculosis morbidity is higher among females (78.8%) and in subjects aged before 50 years (81.4%). Success of tuberculosis control among the medical personnel can be provided by actively solving the problems of tuberculosis prevention, including the organization of health improvement measures under conditions of sanatorium and measures aimed at social protection.

[Sanatorium care of patients with tuberculosis and the ways of its further improvement].

The experience of our phthisiologists proved the necessity to organize a combined treatment of tuberculosis patients. More than 90% of patients are discharged from the sanatoria with considerable improvement of their health. Hence, the sanatorium stage of treatment under the present conditions becomes especially important since the cost of stay in a sanatorium is less than that in a hospital. The success of further improvement of sanatorium treatment of tuberculosis patients can be provided by the introduction of the non-pharmaceutical therapeutic methods. In addition, recently there are real conditions for making principally new structural subdivisions on the sanatorium basis, including the departments for medical workers, in order to provide prevention of tuberculosis in persons who are working in conditions of professional health hazard.
