[Impact of information-and-education work with new cases of tuberculosis on therapeutic effectiveness].

The paper describes a procedure for information exposure of new cases of tuberculosis, which is based on the prediction of low treatment adherence, by using the diagnostic complex that is a scoring system for rating the sociomedical and psychological characteristics of patients, which determine the prediction of their treatment compliance. Group information work has been done with all patients; there has been individual work with risk-group patients to discontinue therapy. Comparative analysis of the results of treatment in 131 patients demonstrates that the information exposure system has assisted in significantly enhancing the patients' adherence to treatment and its efficiency.
