Особливості сімейного туберкульозу в умовах епідемії

Abstract

Under our supervision there were 122 tuberculosis patients who have established contact with the family sick. Among the pulmonary forms of tuberculosis, the most frequent contact persons took place infiltrative – in 65 (56,6%) patients. Resistance of mycobacteria to anti-TB drugs was recorded in 48 (39,3%) patients. Raises the question of the need to break «the epidemiological chain» by isolating patients. This process is a serious moral-psychological and social problem for the sick.
