[Ways of prevention and early detection of tuberculosis among schoolchildren in an epidemiologically unfavorable region].
Attention is attached to the improvement of health education in school collectives in the epidemiologically unfavourable rural areas. The level of their awareness of tuberculosis prevention has been studied on the basis of questionnaires given to 153 teachers and 90 schoolchildren and hence the optimal forms of activity have been suggested, including lesions in tuberculosis prevention that should be included in the curriculum of biology. Variants of tuberculin diagnosis used in early tuberculosis detection and adequate formation of risk groups in the presence or absence of a contact with tuberculosis patients in school collectives have been proposed. Special consideration is given to these activities in rural boarding schools.
