“…The article presents age-specific mortality rates in Moscow in the pre-antibacterial era, when BCG vaccination was not available and the predominant forms of tuberculosis at different ages were the cause of death.Results: Obviously, a one-stage screening (TRA test) performed in children of 8-17 years old, is more convenient for both medical workers and patients, and it is more cost effective. However, it is currently impossible to switch to this test when examining children under 7 years, since children receive BCG revaccination if the response to Mantoux test is negative.…”
