Number of the foci of tuberculosis infection observed by the local first aid posts has been determined; age-specific, social and epidemiologic description of the tuberculosis infection foci has been done. In conclusion, first aid posts are one of the key healthcare units to follow-up patients with tuberculosis at their place of residence.
