Abstract

The dispensary records of 5296 pulmonary tuberculosis patients who moved to the Krasnodar Territory during 5 years were analyzed. The excretors were 50.6%; 17.3% (ex-convicts) were registered in a dispensary. This group of patients refused to be on dispensary record more often than other migrants, had difficulties in contacting with medical personnel, more frequently suffered from concurrent alcoholism. Children's infection in these asocial families was 3 times higher than that in socially favourable tuberculosis foci.
