[Risk groups and morbidity of tuberculosis among outpatients of pediatric clinics].

The author's investigations demonstrate that children with somatic diseases registered for follow-up in pediatric outpatient departments should be referred to risk groups by tuberculosis. Special attention should be paid to children with a combination of gastrointestinal lesions with respiratory diseases. Phthisiologic risk in children with cardiovascular, skin affections and collagenoses is close to such in healthy subjects. It is recommended to use a differential approach to prophylactic measures in children followed up in outpatient departments and to prognosis of tuberculosis risk in them.
