[Analysis of tuberculosis morbidity in the southeastern district of Moscow].

The present-day poor epidemiological conditions are marked by an increase in tuberculosis detection rates (1.43%) with low coverage (28.0%) of the population with preventive fluorographic surveys and a high proportion (39.0%) of young patients (aged 18-39 years) among new cases. The shares of advanced and acute forms of tuberculosis were 7.2 and 11.4%, respectively. A decay phase was detected in 50.6%, 52.6% of patients isolated bacteria. In children, tuberculosis morbidity increased by 28.6% mainly among the unregistered extrafamilial contacts. Most patients (75.8%) detected upon their referral to the polyclinics and general hospitals had a high proportion of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Thus, the above trends of morbidity show its high potential level.
