    Journal: Probl Tuberk; 1999; (1):14-6. PubMed ID: 10199175.
    Abstract:
    An unfavorable epidemiological trend in tuberculosis morbidity and mortality has been registered in the last decade. The number of newly detected cases and mortality in 1997 vs 1991 rose more than 2-fold reaching 73.9 and 16.7 per 100,000, respectively. The effectiveness of tuberculosis treatment is worsening: bacterial discharge stopped in 72.6%, destruction cavities in the lungs closed in 62.6%, clinical recovery was obtained in 17.2% of patients (relevant statistics for 1986 were 89.9, 81.6 and 21.9%, respectively). To correct the situation, government of the Russian Federation has adopted the program of tuberculosis control for 1998-2004. The Health Administration of the Ivanovo and Tomsk Regions has successfully introduced the DOTS program. Now, this positive experience is applied in other regions and institutions.
