  • Title: [The significance of parameters of the reservoir of bacillary patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in the assessment of tuberculosis epidemic situation].
    Author: Kapkov LP.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk Bolezn Legk; 2007; (1):17-22. PubMed ID: 17338348.
    Abstract:
    The author analyzes the tuberculosis epidemic situation in Russia, by using the traditional scheme accepted in Russia and the procedure based on the follow-up of bacillary patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. The proposed procedure enabled the author to ascertain the reasons for the decreased rates of normalization of the tuberculosis situation and to make an objective proposal to implement tuberculosis-controlling measures. The performed study has led the author to recommend a new form of calculating the abacillation index and of establishing the standard for the proportion (75-85%) of bacterial isolation in patients with new-onset pulmonary tuberculosis.
