[Ways of enhancing the effectiveness of bacterioscopic diagnosis of tuberculosis in general health care facilities in case of pilot areas of Russia].
The experience of researchers of the Central Research Institute of Tuberculosis, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, in the pilot areas of Russia has made it possible to perfect approaches to improving a bacteriological diagnosis of tuberculosis in general health care facilities. A decisive role in enhancing the effectiveness of detection of patients with tuberculosis by the Ziel-Nielsen test is played by the following factors: training of laboratory personnel; provision of laboratories with high-grade equipment and reagents; introduction of the methods and techniques unified and approved by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation; regular supervision of jurisdictional laboratories; outside control of the quality of studies. Proper organization of examination of patients, including an effectual selection of patients to be examined, the observance of the established frequency of their examination, and provision of the required quality of a taken sample greatly affect the efficiency of a microscopic diagnosis of bacillary patients. In addition, the centralization of performed microbiological tests for tuberculosis in the most trained, certified, and licensed large laboratories exercising a centralized control of the quality of microbiological studies is optimal.
