Abstract
Treatment outcomes have been studied for 1,372 children with pulmonary tuberculosis of 0-14 years old, notified in 2011 and 2012. It has been found out that the high cure rates (94.5%) are related to a lower number of forms with massive bacillary excretion (7.0%). The lower frequency of some other unfavorable outcomes also makes its contribution (but for the ineffective course of chemotherapy). The massive bacillary excretion increases the risk of chemotherapy failure by 13.2 fold and the risk of lethal outcome by 8.9 times.
