    Abstract:
    Examining epidemiological and qualitative data on the prevention, detection, and treatment tuberculosis in Armenia in 1987 and 1997 revealed 58.6 and 24.0%, rises in tuberculosis incidence and prevalence, respectively; its mortality has increased by 2.5 times. The qualitative indices have become worse: the proportion of destructive pulmonary tuberculosis has risen from 58.0 to 62.4%, cavernous closure has decreased from 78.0 to 57.8%, and cessation of bacterial isolation lowered from 85.0 to 74.5%. Social and organizational reasons of the above worse indices are presented. A package of tuberculosis control measures, which has been adjusted to the present conditions, is recommended.
