[A role of individual tuberculin diagnosis in the formation of registry group VI].
The authors studied the use of comprehensive individual tuberculin diagnosis (scarification skin test, intradermal titer) in the differential diagnosis of the nature of tuberculin sensitivity in children referred for examinations by physiological pediatricians for the diagnosis of a turn of tuberculin tests and the formation of registry group VIA. The use of this procedure was found to avoid the hyperdiagnosis of a turn of tuberculin tests in as high as 55.8%, to improve the diagnosis of hyperergic reactions to tuberculin, and to detect an occult false hyperergic reaction. Moreover, there is a possibility of observing the changes in individual sensitivity in Registry Group 0 children, which contributes to their more timely transfer to Group VIA. Analyzing the results shows that the use of comprehensive tuberculin diagnosis promotes the optimization of a system of preventive measures aimed at preventing tuberculosis in children.
