Clinical and Epidemic Characteristics of Patients with Tuberculosis in Early and Preschool Children

The aim of the research is to study modern clinical and epidemic characteristics of tuberculosis patients of early and preschool children in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Traditional methods of assessing the patient's clinical condition and history have been used. Analysis of radiological and laboratory studies was carried out. Patients were divided into 2 groups: the 1st group was made up of 120 patients (70.6 %) from established contact with bacteriodilators, the 2d group included 50 tuberculosis patients of children (29.4 %) from unknown contact. A study of the structure of tuberculosis complications showed that children of the first group had complications in 26 cases (21.7 %), obstruction of pulmonary tissue was diagnosed in 16 people (13.3 %), bronchopulmonary lesion -8 children (6.7 %), pulmonary tissue atelectasis -7 (5.8 %), pleurisy -4 (3.3 %), decay -3 (2.5 %), polysitis in one (0.8). In the second group of patients, complications were diagnosed less often and established in 6 cases (12 %).
