[Influence of the dismissed prisoners with pulmonary tuberculosis on the contingents of tuberculosis dispensaries].

Abstract

Individuals become annually free from confinement places, among them 10.3-28.6% are ill with pulmonary tuberculosis. An average of only 35.6% of this contingent are registered at dispensaries in the territories. Their mortality rates within the first year of registration are 2.3 times higher than those registered at dispensaries of these territories. The authors show it necessary to accomplish cooperation between the health care facilities of the Ministry of Health of Russia and those of the Ministry of Justice of Russia.
