    Abstract:
    In the past 12 years, there were 1.3- and 1.9-fold reductions in the total morbidity rates of tuberculosis and its spread, respectively. However, its morbidity among children showed 3-fold increases. The reduction rate of bacterial excretion became much slower in the past 4 years. Tuberculosis mortality rates tended to rise. At the moment of study, the basic tuberculosis epidemiological parameters were 1.3-1.5 times higher than those in the Russian Federation. At the same time there was a decrease in the efficiency of antituberculous work at all levels.
