title: [Classification of human diseases and prophylaxis of morbidity among the population].
abstract: The existing approaches to the classification of diseases, based on the determination of their nosological forms, are mainly oriented on the clinical requirements. Within the only approach to the classification of diseases, it is difficult to combine the requirements of diagnostics and those of the epidemiological generalization of the data on morbidity for the development of the prophylactic system for the prevention of the mass spread of diseases, which is of particular importance for infectious diseases. It is necessary to form the specialized classification of epidemiological situations, based on the International Classification of Diseases and capable of ensuring the assessment of the epidemic spread of infectious diseases and the development of adequate measures for decreasing mass morbidity among the population.
