title: [Recurrence of pulmonary tuberculosis in adults in the areas of the Republic of Sakha (Iakutia)].
abstract: The dynamics in recurrences of pulmonary tuberculosis was analyzed in the areas of Yakutia. The social and clinical characteristics of patients with recurrences and their treatment outcomes are presented in the paper. Recurrences of pulmonary tuberculosis were found to occur more frequently in the areas having a poor epidemiological tuberculosis situation and among socially unprotected groups of the population. Under these conditions, recurrences may occur in 30 years or more after clinical cure of tuberculosis. To treat patients with recurrences in the area presents great difficulties.
