title: [Community-acquired pneumonia among the conscripts of Interior Forces in Russia: characteristics of the epidemic process].
abstract: The dynamics of the incidence and characteristics of community-acquired pneumonia among the servicemen at the call of Interior Forces of Russia during the period 2000-2010 is analyzed. High frequency of pneumonia among the conscripts is provided by a number of factors: immunodepression during the period of adaptation to military service, the presence of a substantial portion of chronic respiratory disease, chill, overcrowded accommodation in the barracks and the "mixing factor". In recent years the level of this disease has had a positive effect of specific prophylaxis of pneumococcal infections and the transition period of one year of compulsory military service.
