title: [Morbidity and the organization of antiepidemic and prophylactic measures in illness in children in an environment with tuberculosis patients].
abstract: Data on tuberculosis morbidity rates in children and on main preventive measures (vaccination, revaccination, etc.) in Udmurtia. Over 5 years, the morbidity rates of children contacting with Mycobacterium tuberculosis-isolated and Mycobacterium-nonisolated individuals were 1215.4 and 1432.1, respectively. An analysis of the types of tuberculosis of sick children established that tuberculosis of the intrathoracic lymph nodes was prevalent (63.1%). The children having familial contacts for 6-12 months fell ill more frequently. Timely isolation of children and adolescents at the sanatorium-type institution is of beneficial value among measures for familial focal sanitation, in addition to specific prophylaxis.
