title: [Prevention of tuberculosis in the migrant rural population and means of improving its effectiveness].
abstract: Detection of pulmonary tuberculosis, its clinical process and certain peculiarities of its prophylaxis in rural migrants and particularly in persons leaving the region during season work were analyzed. It was shown that the incidence of tuberculosis among the migrants was higher than that among non-migrants of the control group. Often (11 per cent) they had severe acute specific lesions in the lungs usually not observed in persons not migrating. Unaccustomed climatic and geographical conditions, epidemiological situation with respect to tuberculosis in the new places, traces of cured intrathoracic primary tuberculosis, irregular fluorographic examinations and bad habits were the leading factors in development of the disease in the migrants. Recommendations for prophylaxis of respiratory tuberculosis in rural migrants are presented.
