title: [Patient groups with chronic destructive pulmonary tuberculosis from the areas of different epidemiological situations].
abstract: 2,530 patients with chronic destructive tuberculosis, registered at the antituberculosis institutions of the Alma-Ata and Guriyev regions, were followed up for a period of three years. Significant differences were found in the extent of the tuberculous process, age and sex distribution and social class of the patients from the compared regions. A relationship was established between outpatient follow-up findings and the mode of treatment, biomedical and ++socio-hygienic factors. It was recognized advisable to choose "promising" (curable) patients from the total number of chronic destructive tuberculosis cases and to perform an intensive chemotherapy, including surgical interventions, among them.
