[The risk of tuberculous infection on the territory of Iaşi County in a 5-year period].
The authors study the infection risk (IR) in the Iaşi County, between 1983 and 1987, at the age of 6-7 years old, in relation to the evolution of tuberculosis incidence in children and to the bacillary incidence and prevalence. TR was maintained, in the period of study, at about 0.90%, thus corresponding to the bacillary incidence on the territory, on average of 39% inhabitants. Calculation of the contagiousness parameter of the contaminating sources showed that a source is infectious for about 13 children at 100,000 inhabitants. The findings above plead for the necessity of improving the county fighting program against tuberculosis.
