[Methods of assessment of the epidemic process intensity]

For a more complete and proper assessment of the intensity of the epidemic process in infections with polymorphic clinical picture it is suggested, that, along with morbidity analysis one should calculate the affection level and the ratio of the manifest and inapparent forms (infection carrier forms). For this purpose suitable formulas of calculation are recommended. A possibility of the use of this method for evaluation of the intensity of the infectious process in various groups of persons, depending on age, season, etc., and also for the assessment of the efficacy of antiepidemic measures in dysentery and other infectious diseases was noted.
