[New approaches to formation of registration group of individuals followed up by antituberculosis institutions in Uzbekistan].

The paper presents the results of a three-year (2000-2002) follow-up of the movement of dispensary contingents registered in tuberculosis facilities in order to develop new dispensary groups. The dispensary groups of patients with active forms of tuberculosis have been ascertained to accumulate a great number of patients with its inactive forms due to the untimely of their transfer to the inactive groups in terms of effective treatment and the clinical forms of tuberculosis. New dispensary grouping will more definitely regulate the transfer of patients from active to inactive groups and strike from the list of dispensary patients. The proposed new grouping excludes registration Groups 0, II, and VII. If required, the persons struck from Groups III and VB and those followed up as Groups 0 and VII patients will be transferred to adult and pediatric polyclinics and followed up in recurrent tuberculosis risk groups.
