[The functional status and work capacity of convalescents after pseudotuberculosis]. / Funktsional'noe sostoianie i rabotosposobnost' rekonvalestsentov posle psevdotuberkuleza.

The authors have studied the recovery process of functional state and performance capability in 887 convalescents after pseudotuberculosis. All the examinees were servicemen of male sex, age 18-23, without somatic or psychoneurological disorders. Clinical, biochemical, immunological and psychophysiological methods of examinations were applied. It was found out that the outcomes of the diseases were favourable. At the same time in 79.8% of patients functional disorders of nerve, cardiovascular, hepatobiliary and digestive systems were taking place for one month. A half of convalescents had a low performance capability and low psychoemotional labour motivation. Application of adaptogens, physiotherapy, and a system of gradually growing physical loads which was elaborated by the authors give the possibility to improve and shorten the period of rehabilitation.
