MEDICAL AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF TUBERCULOSIS OF LABOR MIGRANTS
The purpose of the work is to review the incidence of tuberculosis among the resident population and labor migrants in the Russian Federation for the period from 2010 to 2019 and on the basis of these data to identify the contribution of migrants to the structure of the overall incidence, study the influence of various factors on the incidence of tuberculosis, as well as justify the approach to the diagnosis of tuberculosis. The material of the study was Russian and foreign literature on this issue and other resources on the topic presented in recent years. As a result of the study, it was revealed that it is the incidence of tuberculosis among migrants that makes a significant contribution to the overall structure of the incidence of a disease. The high prevalence of tuberculosis is due to the fact that the detection of this disease occurs at later stages because of the neglect of migrants to their health. It was presented the role of such factors as socially dangerous diseases, insufficient sanitary education and illegal migration in the incidence of tuberculosis. In this work the current diagnostic methods of tuberculosis among migrants were demonstrated as well as modern methods, that allow to detect diseases at the stage of leaving the country and significantly reduce the allocated funding.
