[Environment-induced tuberculous infection among Vladivostok children and adolescents]
Abstract:
The epidemiological parameters of tuberculosis were studied in Vladivostok children and adolescents in relation to environmental factors and populational density. The city was divided into three areas: environmentally favorable, less favorable, and unfavorable. It has been ascertained that in the environmentally unfavorable area, the rates of morbidity are 1.3-4.9 times higher and those of infection are 1.4-1.6 times higher than those in the environmentally favorable areas. Analyzing the results may predict the most serious situation in the areas referred to as environmentally less favorable, which should be taken into account while organizing tuberculosis-controlling measures among children and adolescents living in the cities.
