title: [Characteristics of tuberculosis of the respiratory organs in patients living in the areas of tropical climate].
abstract: Factors that underlie the generally acknowledged high-risk groups are supplemented by specific aggravating factors typical of hot-climate regions: recent (less than 5 years) staying in hot regions, frequent childbirth in the indigenous women and overheating under industrial and living conditions. Subjects having a combination of several aggravating factors have the most serious tuberculosis structure. The preventive measures should aim at recording of such subjects and making obligatory X-ray and fluorographic examination accomplished every year and controlled by the antituberculosis dispensaries. A combination of several unfavourable factors requires employment of general health measures; in immunity lowering threat chemoprophylaxis should be prescribed.
