[The use of factorial correlation-regression analysis in the evaluation of the efficiency of BCG immunization in children].

The paper analyzes the results of a factorial correlation regression analysis of the impact of tuberculosis immunization (BCG vaccination and revaccination) in Omsk under specific epidemiological conditions. The protective effect of BCG vaccination was observed in 58% of cases and that of the first revaccination was in 72%.

[Factorial analysis of the epidemic and infectious processes of tuberculosis in children].

The direction and strength of a relation and a correlation between the parameters of an epidemic process of tuberculous infection were estimated by correlation and regression analyses where r is the correlation coefficient verging to one. A high correlation was found between the risk for infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the quality of measures aimed at isolating the source of infection--a bacteria-isolating adult. The morbidity rates in children with tuberculosis depend on the quality of preventive measures to a greater extent.

[Epidemiologic monitoring of tuberculosis in Omsk].

The paper presents an epidemiological monitoring of tuberculosis infection with personal computers. The procedure may standardize different epidemiological characteristics, objectively evaluate the level of antituberculosis work in various areas, promptly process a great deal of data. The tuberculosis epidemiological situation in Omsk is analyzed in comparison with the indices of epidemiological well-being.

[Tuberculosis as hospital acquired infection].

Tuberculosis morbidity rates were analyzed in the staff of antituberculosis dispensaries and institutions of the general therapeutical network. There were 74 cases of tuberculosis among the medical workers in 1993-1996. The sociomedical characteristics of the medical staff suffering from tuberculosis are given.

[The epidemiological situation and the efficacy of antituberculosis measures in children in West Siberia].

Stabilization of tuberculosis morbidity among the children and adolescents in West Siberia was found against the background of its reduction in adults. The main causes of the unfavourable situation for tuberculosis in children of West Siberia include the presence of numerous infectious foci unknown to the antituberculosis center; incomplete examination of subjects who take care of the newborn; drawbacks in the organization and early detection and vaccination of the newborn and in the follow-up of children of groups IV and VI of dispensary record.
