    Abstract:
    The basic epidemiological parameters (prevalence, incidence, mortality due to tuberculosis) and inadequate efficiency of treatment of patients suggest that tuberculosis remains to be a serious problem in the North-West of Russia. There is differentiation in the prevalence of tuberculous infection that reaches the critical values in the Kaliningrad Region. For successful tuberculosis control in the North-Western Region, it is necessary to solve personnel problems, to improve methods for early detection of tuberculosis, to enhance the quality of therapeutic measures by actively introducing the developed technologies for treating drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis and for adequately applying surgical treatments for tuberculosis at different sites, to set up a tuberculosis monitoring system with proper financing all implemented antituberculous measures.
