title: [Tuberculosis and pulmonology].
abstract: The features of tuberculosis morbidity pattern and trends in the adult population urgently necessitate goal-oriented activities for the risk group represented by patients with nonspecific pulmonary diseases. The phthisiology service of the Chelyabinsk region could assume the responsibility for inpatient and polyclinic health care of the patients with non-specific pulmonary diseases due to the following: relatively low tuberculosis morbidity, incidence and mortality rates; available experience in exercising an integrated approach to preventive measures; an established team of highly-qualified phthisiologists; and a wide network of antituberculosis institutions in the region. An integrative emphasis is formed on the basis of guidelines, training activities, inpatient facilities of the anti-tuberculosis institutions and follow-up of the patients.
