[Tactics of following up patients of tuberculosis facilities]

The paper proposes a principle of following up patients from tuberculosis facilities, which is based on the patients' need for treatment rather than on the duration of monitoring of cure stability. The proposed scheme of dispensary registration may focus phthisiologists' attention on the patients who really need a follow-up. The use of the scheme in tuberculosis facilities will enhance the efficiency of treatment in patients and reduce the rate of tuberculosis reactivation in patients registered as risk group ones.
