Assessing efficiency of epidemiological security system for the medical organization

Healthcare workers comprise a high-risk cohort of developing diverse infections caused by opportunistic and pathogenic microbes. Among medical workers of the Russian Federation the first rank place in occupational diseases is held by tuberculosis of respiratory organs accounting for more than half o...

Among medical workers of the Russian Federation the first rank place in occupational diseases is held by tuberculosis of respiratory organs accounting for more than half of all registered occupational diseases.

The organization of epidemiological surveillance and tuberculosis prevention medical workers so far remains unsolved both scientifically and practically.
