[Detection of pulmonary tuberculosis in migrants].
Tuberculosis was detected in 2.2% of migrants from Baku, whereas among those applying for medical and social care to the charity organization "Physicians without Boundaries" this value is 4 times higher: 8.6%. These results necessitate the development of a complex of antituberculosis measures adapted to new marginal risk groups-migrants. The principal purpose of these measures should be to make specialized medical care as available as possible for this group.
