Abstract:
The activities of two federal and regional tuberculosis sanatoriums for children and adolescents were analyzed. The clinical characteristics and the results of the examination and treatment were studied in 510 patients aged 12-17 years who had various manifestations of tuberculous infection. The beds in the sanatoriums were ascertained to occupy irrationally: the proportion of patients with local forms of tuberculosis there is not more than 30%. Guidelines for selection of children and adolescents with tuberculosis from risk groups and for detection of the disease were developed. A proposal was made to set up consultative and diagnostic centers at the sanatorium basis. The paper shows it possible and expedient to treat children and adolescents with new-onset local, non-destructive forms of tuberculosis under the conditions of a sanatorium.
