| Summary: | Background: Timely detection of tuberculosis infection worldwide, at present, remains an urgent problem. Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of preventive digital X-ray fluorography studies in the timely diagnosis of respiratory tuberculosis (RTB) at the present time. Material and methods: The analysis of 247 medical records of patients admitted to inpatient treatment aimed at the identification of RTB was carried out. All examined patients were divided into two groups according to the method of RTB detection: by the method of digital prophylactic X-ray examinations; by seeking medical advice. Results: with preventive digital X-ray fluorography studies 188 cases (76.1%) were detected, in those seeking medical advice – 59 cases (23.9%). Conclusions: Currently the X-ray method remains the leading method for timely detection of pulmonary tuberculosis. |
