title: [Thermal indicator diagnosis of lung pathology at a rural hospital].
abstract: Findings of liquid crystalline thermography used for the diagnosis of lung pathology at a rural hospital during 1984-89 are summarized. The above method helps to select those from the rural population who suffer from lung pathology and to organize their timely examination and treatment. As compared to the previous years, average increase in the number of out-patients examined at a regional antituberculosis institution made up 23.7% over the given period. At the present stage of rural health care development, express diagnosis of lung pathology promotes the integration of phthisiology and pneumology services, which greatly improves the system of medical examination of the rural population.
