EFFICIENCY OF THE MANDATORY X-RAY EXAMINATION OF OBSTETRIC PATIENTS IN THE MATERNITY HOSPITAL UNDER CONDITIONS OF TUBERCULOSIS EPIDEMICS

Abstract

The character of tuberculous disease and treatment e¦ciency of tuberculosis detected in 140 women after the delivery have been studied. 96 women were included into the main group with tuberculosis diagnosed in the maternity hospital and 44 women were included into the control group with tuberculosis diagnosed in various time periods after the discharge from the maternity hospital (before introduction of mandatory fluorography screening in the maternity hospitals). The mandatory fluorography screening in the maternity hospitals allows timely detection of tuberculosis in the vast majority of cases and achieving favorable outcomes with clinical cure in 95.8% of cases. Wider introduction of this approach is recommended given the epidemics of tuberculosis.
