title: [Neuropsychic state in convicts with tuberculosis at different penitentiaries].
abstract: The neuropsychic studies in convicts suggest that human exposure to multiple factors induces a severe acute stress that accordingly results in neuropsychic disorders and in more significant disruption of the body's performance. Due to the fact that tuberculosis occupies a certain place among all diseases; learning about his being ill becomes a much stronger psychotraumatizing factor to the convict. A combined exposure to various factors, including the disease itself, influences convicts' emotional reaction and has serious personality consequences that appear as altered mental state and limited social activity; as well as difficult adaptation to new living conditions and all these factors substantially influence the course and outcome of the disease.
