title: [Features of anti-tuberculosis aid to prisoners].
abstract: Characteristic features of medical care of tuberculosis patients staying at places of their confinement are considered on the basis of the examination data collected during a year. Inpatient treatment was primarily indicated for subjects with pulmonary tuberculosis (66%), including 31.9 per cent of the newly diagnosed. It is recorded that the percentage of patients with fibrocavernous process was rather high (13.7%), while those suffering from concurrent conditions and excreting drug-resistant tubercle bacilli made up 41.2 and 45.9 per cent; respectively. Some measures are recommended to optimize sufficiently provided medical care and treatment efficacy.
