Highlights
Tuberculosis (TB) epidemiology remains challenging globally, despite vigorous efforts of international medical and public organizations.[1]
According to data taken from form No.[33], out of total 399 deaths of TB patients who died of various causes in the city in 2015, 35.6% of cases were caused by TB (À15-À19 per ICD-10), 31.3% by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease (B20.0), and the rest 33.1% were of other causes
Unemployed city residents suffer more frequently from HIV/TB co-infection, and the co-infection is more readily registered among psychoactive drug users and former prisoners
Summary
Tuberculosis (TB) epidemiology remains challenging globally, despite vigorous efforts of international medical and public organizations.[1]. Rising HIV incidence rates are registered in the majority of the RF regions, and on account of advanced HIV patients. The capital city is currently among most successful subjects in the country.TB incidence and mortality rates in the city have been approaching those in developed European countries and equaled to 28.0 and 2.6 cases per 100,000 population, in 2015 vs cross-national values of 57.7 and 9.2 per 100,000 population. Moscow does not rank highest in terms of the public being affected by HIV; it is among 20 subjects of the RF, where this problem is extremely acute, which naturally impacts the epidemiological situation of TB in the city.[3,4,5] The authors are interested in studying the effect HIV disease has on TB epidemiology against current significant reduction in TB rates. This research deals with analysis of HIV prevalence among TB patients in the city of Moscow and its effect on the social and demographic structure of newly diagnosed TB patients, registered TB patients, and mortality rates of TB patients across the city
