title: [New elements in organizing medical care for infectious patients in a mountainous desert locale with a hot climate].
abstract: In 1983-1985 the author of this article occupied the post of main infectionist of the 40th Army. During this period a number of new elements were elaborated by him to meet the requirements of medical care to infectious patients. At prehospital phase the nonorganic garrison isolators were deployed with 60-100 patient capacity on the basis of medical companies and separate medical battalions taking into account considerable delays in evacuation of patients. Lately it turned out more rational to deploy the infectious platoons in the organic structure of some medical companies and battalions. That made it possible to reduce the number of unfavourable cases. In addition to the existing structure of specialized medical care to the infectious patients it was planned to deploy 2-5 infectious units in military hospitals, deploy infectious hospitals with 200-500 patient capacity, boxes and intensive care units. The final recovery of convalescents was realized at the rehabilitation centre.
