[The risk for recurrent pulmonary tuberculosis in dispensary registration group III patients].
A statistical method was used to specify the significance of the most commonly encountered risk factors for recurrent pulmonary tuberculosis. Among others, 10 factors that substantially influenced the development of an early recurrence were identified. These are distributed as follows: medical factors, such as comorbidity, the undulating course of a tuberculous process, a contact with a tuberculosis patient, an ineffective basic course of therapy for the underlying disease, intercurrent diseases, a decay phase, major and minor residual changes. Social risk factors were fewer; however, they also had a great influence--the unemployed and prisoners. A combination of 4 significant signs or more was of significance to the development of an early recurrence; in case of more than 2 risk factors, the likelihood of a recurrence proved to be insignificant (p < 0.05).
