[Impact of tuberculosis morbidity on the health indices of a special contingent of the reformatory system].
The reformatory system of the Ivanovo Region shows a tense epidemic situation due to tuberculosis that heads the list of morbidity and ranks second in mortality in the region. 90-92% and 8-10% of new cases of tuberculosis occur in the reformatories and solitary confinements, respectively, the intracell morbidity in the solitary confinements being not more than 8.5-9%. Regular semiannual fluorographic examinations reveal that in the pattern of clinical forms of tuberculosis, its prevalent "small forms" (focal tuberculosis and infiltrative tuberculosis of 1-2 segments of one lung without decay) are prevalent.
