[Epidemiological value of the efficiency of treatment in patients with tuberculosis].
The main tuberculosis epidemiological parameters in the Ukraine are analyzed. The present epidemic of tuberculosis has been found to be characterized by the predominance of mortality rates over morbidity ones along less efficiency of treatment and abnormal stabilization of the incidence of recurrent tuberculosis. The efficiency of treatment (ceased bacterial isolation and healed decay cavities and caverns) is of epidemiological value. The range of these parameters, whose achievement may significantly affect immunological parameters is to be defined. It is concluded that it is necessary to make a large-scale epidemiological study of tuberculosis to establish many causal correlations of the present-days epidemic of tuberculosis.
