[State and prospects of antituberculous care for the population of the Republic of Marii El].
The paper briefly outlines the history of the Republican antituberculosis dispensary which is 70. It gives the present-day tuberculosis epidemiological parameters in the republic. It is pointed out that from 1991 to 1995 morbidity rates rose by 85% and made up 48.4 per 100,000. Morbidity rates in the republic are affected by the population's lower living conditions, decreased scope of medical aid due to inadequate financial funds and uncompleted staff. Transition to more short-term courses of chemotherapy by the WHO scheme and reduction of follow-up duration in the groups registered in dispensaries.
