Abstract

Due to the incidence increase of tuberculosis, there is increasing need for epidemiological surveillance of concomitant pathologies among HIV-infected people. The main goal of the authors is to develop information technologies for collecting and processing material on the incidence of HIV infection and tuberculosis in assessing the risks of contamination of contacts in the foci and the effectiveness of epidemiological response. There are descriptive and evaluative epidemiological research methods, the results of clinical studies at the work. There are also presented the features of clinical aspects of concomitant pathology that affect the risk of developing tuberculosis in contact persons. The work presents optimization of use of databases and standard computer programs, which will make it possible to carry out a comprehensive epidemiological assessment of the risks of contamination of contacts in foci of HIV infection and tuberculosis, to determine belonging of the outbreak to groups of high risk of developing tuberculosis in contact, to determine a wider range of contacts and the boundaries of the outbreak.
