[Morbidity and prevalence of lymphogranulomatosis in the Moldavian SSR].

The results of studies on the morbidity and incidnece of lymphogranulomatosis in Moldavian SSR during 10-year period depending on sex, age and type of the population are described. It is emphasized that lymphogranulomatosis is a comparatively rare lesion, more frequently it is encountered among urban population, in males in particular, with an age peak among persons of both sex older than 60 years. No tendency to any rise in the morbidity indices was noted. Whereas a longer survival of patients due to new effective methods of treatment for lymphogranulomatosis may account for more high incidence of this affection.
