Abstract

In the complex of measures for the prevention of tuberculosis, work with people exposed to factors of an increased risk of developing this disease is becoming increasingly important. Meanwhile, insufficient quality of medical examination of military personnel from the risk group for tuberculosis is noted; most of them are not detected and do not receive chemoprophylaxis. To increase the effectiveness of this work, new techniques are required, including the use of successful experience in the fight against tuberculosis in the armed forces of foreign countries. The article presents modern approaches to the organization and the conduct of anti-TB measures. Possible ways of using the positive experience of tuberculosis prevention in the US Army to improve anti-TB standards in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are identified.
