Abstract
The objective: to identify the most significant social factors contributing to occurrence of early relapses of tuberculosis, to characterize the first episode of respiratory tuberculosis in patients with early relapses.
Subjects and Methods. Records of 76 patients with early relapses of respiratory tuberculosis and 92 patients who completed observation as Group 3 of dispensary follow-up without relapse were analyzed. The analysis covered the period from 2017 to 2024.
Results. Among patients who had completed treatment of tuberculosis and were transferred to Group 3 of dispensary follow-up, categories with a higher risk of early tuberculosis relapse were identified. They include those with a secondary general education or lower, unmarried individuals, homeless people, as well as those living in poorly maintained housing or dormitories, ex-prisoners, the unemployed at the moment of developing tuberculosis, and those addicted to alcohol, smoking in combination with other psychoactive substances. Early relapses occur significantly more often in patients with the following manifestations of the first episode: disseminated tuberculosis, severe bronchopulmonary syndrome, lung tissue decay, and positive results of sputum tests.
