From March 18 to 24, 2024, the sanatorium "Krasivo" hosts a Week of prevention of infectious diseases (in honor of World Tuberculosis Day)

The medical staff of the sanatorium "Krasivo" are actively involved in the information campaign, carry out explanatory work that infectious diseases occur in the presence of pathogenic microorganisms and are transmitted from an infected person to a healthy one. The main ways of transmission of infection are airborne, alimentary, sexual transmission (viral hepatitis B and C, HIV infection, etc.) and blood transmission (most often viral hepatitis B, HIV infection).

Prevention of infectious diseases includes individual and community prevention.

World Tuberculosis Day is celebrated on March 24. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease, the causative agent of which is Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MBT), or in another way Koch's wand, named after its discoverer, the German scientist Robert Koch. Koch's work played an important role in the fight against tuberculosis and in 1911 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for his outstanding discovery. The basis for tuberculosis prevention is the BCG vaccine. It is usually placed in the hospital in the first days of the child's life. The immune system is formed, which protects the child from infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Adults need to undergo a fluorographic examination at least once a year in a polyclinic in order to detect tuberculosis in the early stages. Take care of yourself!
