[Monitoring of tuberculosis recurrences: their causes and precipitating factors].
Introduction of unwarranted shorter courses of chemotherapy, physicians' decreased attention to pathogenetic treatments, nonadherence to the standard of examination while transferring to a further follow-up of clinically cured patients have increased a risk for early tuberculosis recurrences. In the years ahead, there may be a further rise in the number of late recurrences in the general population of the Russian Federation as preventive measures have deteriorated amongst the tuberculosis-cured individuals after their referral for the general health care system. The persons who have experienced tuberculosis and stricken off the register in a tuberculosis dispensary more than 5 years ago make up a late recurrence risk group.
