[Tuberculosis among socially predisposed groups of the population].
Low incidence rates of tuberculosis are directly related to social factors, including higher morbidity among such groups as migrants, vagabonds, ex-convicts and alcohol abusers. In view of that it seems necessary to solve a problem of organizing tuberculosis-oriented treatment-and-labor preventoria to render health care to the vagabonds and other patients refusing medical intervention. Since presently there exists a wide diversity of tuberculosis morbidity rates among different community groups, tuberculosis control tactics should be based on the awareness of the associated risk factors, the existing level of epidemiological data and social and economic situation in a certain region.
