    Abstract:
    The paper provides primary and secondary disability rates during 5 years (1993-1997), derived by the tuberculosis agency of a Moscow sociomedical examination commission. Examination was made mainly in patients with pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis, chronic nonspecific lung diseases, silicosis, cancer, and concomitant diseases of the heart, liver, kidney, etc. There was a rise in primary and secondary disability rates due to the increases of Groups 2 and 3.
