Abstract
Objective: Analysis of the main epidemiological tuberculosis indicators in Primorsky region. Methods: New epidemiological indicators were studied: tuberculosis disease, spread and death rates on the territory of Primorsky region for the period from 2014 to 2019. Statistical data of Primorsky Regional Anti-Tuberculosis Hospital and Primorsky Regional Medical Information Analytical Centre, National reports and also forms of federal monitoring and industry reporting were used. Results: Tuberculosis epidemic situation in Primorsky region is still one of the most unfavorable in Russia. Main epidemiological indicators (disease, spread and death rates) significantly exceed average national rates in spite of some decrease. High level of tuberculosis disease rate having multidrug resistance, and also the increase in HIV/Tuberculosis co-infection rate will have a negative influence on the epidemiological situation in the region in the coming years. Conclusions: In the conditions of current epidemiological situation in order to optimize anti-tuberculosis measures it's necessary to apply complex science-based approach aimed at early diagnosing of tuberculosis patients, increasing diagnostics level, improving treatment and outpatient observation.
