    Abstract:
    Tuberculosis morbidity among the medical workers has been studied in 39 territories of Russia. It has been established that medical personnel contract tuberculosis much frequently than the population of Russia on the whole. Morbidity is particularly high among the personnel of institutions of the antituberculous service, being 293.3 per 100,000 working subjects. Tuberculosis morbidity is higher among females (78.8%) and in subjects aged before 50 years (81.4%). Success of tuberculosis control among the medical personnel can be provided by actively solving the problems of tuberculosis prevention, including the organization of health improvement measures under conditions of sanatorium and measures aimed at social protection.
