[The role of medical risk factors in the development of tuberculosis in the military personnel].
A total of 120 servicemen of the enlisted staff having been taken ill with tuberculosis were examined with the purpose of identifying in them medical risk factors and assessing the part they play in the development of the illness. 84 (75%) of those having been fallen ill revealed the following risk factors: residual changes after spontaneously cured tuberculosis, abnormalities in the immunological reactivity, family and industrial tubcontact, hypersensitivity to tuberculin, and other factors. A three-degree scale is submitted for assessment of risk for development of tuberculosis in servicemen of the enlisted staff. The author considers it inexpediant to call up for military service those young men presenting with third degree risk for tuberculosis.
