Tuberculosis is a widespread disease which affects different parts of the body: the lungs, bones and joints, kidneys, spleen, liver, etc. Pulmonary tuberculosis is the most common form. Tuberculosis is caused by tubercle bacilli which are found in the sputum of patients suffering from TB.

The onset of the disease is insidious. The patient usually complains of slight cough, loss of appetite, fatigue and shortness of

breath on exertion. There is a slight rise of temperature. The patient sweats at night and does not feel rested in the morning.

If the district doctor at a polyclinic has the slightest suspicion of TB, the patient is sent immediately to a tuberculosis dispensary. If there is any need, the patient is sent to a special hospital or a sanatorium.

If the patient has TB bacilli in the sputum, then he stays in the hospital for no less than six to eight months. This sufficient time for the doctors to put the disease into the so called closed form. After that he is again at the district dispensary (he is treated there as an outpatient for 18 months). After the course of treatment is completed, the patient is kept under dispensary surveillance for three years. Every spring and autumn he has prophylactic vaccinations. Members of the family are also given medical check-ups.

While undergoing the prescribed course of treatment, the patient is paid sick benefits the amount of which depends on the length of uninterrupted service.

The prophylaxis of TB starts as soon as a baby is born. Antituberculosis vaccinations are administered to all the babies in maternity homes. After that every year the child is checked for TB.

Influenza (flu, grippe) is an acute infectious epidemic disease caused by a virus and marked by depression, distressing fever, acute catarrhal inflammation of the nose, larynx and bronchi, neuralgic and

muscular pains, gastrointestinal disorder, and nervous disturbances. All ages are liable to the disease. In severe cases vomiting is frequent in babies and in young children as well.

In the typical form of grippe the onset is sudden, beginning with chills, muscular pains and aches in the back and limbs, and bronchitis nervous symptoms, e.g., headache and in severe cases convulsions in babies are usually present.

There are mild cases of the disease. The duration of the disease in a mild case is usually three to four days and the temperature is not very high.

In severe cases the patient's temperature is very high and rises higher with each succeeding paroxysm. Distressing fever and other symptoms, e.g., acute catarrhal inflammation of the bronchi, muscular pains and so on persist for several days. Sometimes pneumonia develops and even death may occur in two or three days. Therefore grippe is especially serious in the very young or when there are pulmonary complications.

In order to minimize the severity of the attack in grippe and to protect the patient from secondary infection, the patient must go to bed at the beginning of an attack and not to be up again without the approval of his physician.

The effects of grippe may persist for a long period of time, therefore a convalescent becomes sensitive to heat, cold, draughts and so on, he easily gets colds, coughs and other respiratory diseases.

The Influenza Surveillance Network operated by World Health Organization recommends annual vaccination against grippe for persons of all ages who have chronic conditions, as 1) heart disease of any etiology; 2) chronic bronchopulmonary disease; 3) chronic renal disease; 4) diabetes mellitus and other metabolic disorders.
