[Prevention of respiratory infections by physical methods in children in tuberculosis sanatoria]

Follow-up of over 12 years in a children's sanatorium included 6035 tuberculosis children aged 3-14 years who had tuberculin tests reversion and local forms of tuberculosis. Prevention by physical methods (herb infusion inhalations, ultraviolet radiation and nasopharyngeal rinsing) caused an average decrease in the incidence of ARD from 22.66 to 5.58%. The efficiency of sanatorium treatment also increased.
