[The organization of prevention of tuberculosis among medical university students]
Abstract:
The article deals with the analysis of 94 cases of tuberculosis among students of Krasnoyarsk state medical university in 1987-2010. The characteristics of disease structure and the outcomes of treatment are established The importance of mandatoty annual fluorography of students as a group with higher risk of tuberculosis infection is proved The tuberculin sensitivity and tuberculosis mycobacteria contamination of students of curative and pediatric faculties are examined. It is demonstrated that teaching in medical university is to be considered as a risk factor of primary tuberculosis infection with consequent development of disease. The proposal was made to organize a specific prevention (BCG revaccination) for medical universities students especially during the period of epidemiologic troubles.

Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
