| Popis: | Tuberculosis epidemiological parameters were analyzed in children in the unfavorable epidemic area in 2008-2011; followup schedules were analyzed in 142 children with positive tuberculin sensitivity; the results of preventive therapy were studied in 32 children at risk. The use of Diaskintest followed by computed tomography was found to have a considerable impact on the tuberculosis epidemiological parameters of children in the Primorye Territory: as a larger number of new tuberculosis cases were detected in children, there was a better clinical morbidity structure and tuberculosis was identified in its earlier stages. Diaskintest allows unreasonable treatment with antituberculosis drugs to be avoided in 56, 20, and 64.3% of the children in Groups 6A, 6B, and 6C, respectively. The intradermal test using the Diaskintest proved to be a reliable method for monitoring the efficiency of preventive therapy. |
