[Detection of patients with respiratory tuberculosis in high-risk groups ar general polyclinic].

The paper presents the results of elucidation of numerous tuberculosis risk factors. Eight most significant criteria were selected by using the multifactorial analysis. They were used to develop an algorithm for selecting patients in risk groups at the polyclinic. Follow-ups of these groups of patients were shown to enhance the detection rate of tuberculosis, thus greatly reducing material expenditures.
