[Effectiveness of WHO strategies in prisons in the Ivanovsk district].
The paper analyzes the results of implementation of the WHO recommendations on detection ad treatment of patients with tuberculosis in 1997-1999. A total of 8901 individuals with symptoms of suspected pulmonary tuberculosis were examined in this period. Sputum smear microscopy revealed acid-resistant bacteria (ARB) in 293 (3.3%) of the patients, including in 167 (57%) with their verification at clinical diagnostic laboratories of general health care units. A therapeutical success was achieved in 81.9% of the new cases of pulmonary tuberculosis who had ARB, in 85.7% of the patients without ARB, and in 72% with recurrent tuberculosis.
