The authors present materials on the study of epidemiological efficacy of hospitalization of dysentery patients by statistical analysis (calculation of tendencies, rates of increase, etc.) of the indices of focal morbidity per 1000 contacts in the total number of foci characterized by various periods of isolation of the first patient. The work was carried out on materials of two towns considerably differing by the extent of organization of public services and amenities. The results obtained pointed to the relative epidemiological efficacy of hospitalization of dysentery patients particularly marked at the territory with less favourable living conditions.
