| Popis: | The article presents the analysis of efficiency of skin test with tuberculous recombinant allergen (TRA, diaskintest), as a screening method for tuberculous infection in children and adolescents above 8 years old using Penza Region as an example. In 2016, 112,808 persons were screened with TRA test, 97.5% of children were covered with this test. TRA test proved to be effective for detection of tuberculosis in children and adolescents. When TRA test is used, less than 1% respond positively to it among those screened on a regular basis (in 2015 – 0.97% and in 2016 – 0.86%). The differential approach to the prescription of preventive treatment in risk groups significantly increases the motivation of 92.0% of parents to have it. With a positive result of TRA test, the screening for tuberculosis with this test and multispiral computer tomography of the chest significantly improve the structure of clinical forms of tuberculosis in children and adolescents due to an increase of the number of limited lesions with minimal manifestations. |
