Sickness certificates for prolonged recovery terms (by 2.5 months, on the average) were given to 330 tuberculous patients. It is shown that when the disability expert commission fixed prolonged terms for convalescence (10 months and longer) for tuberculous patients, this led to the disease stabilization in 90% of the patients who were able to resume their previous work. Only 10% of them became invalids.
