Trends in the development of the epidemiological situation of tuberculosis in the Republic Sakha (Yakutia) in 2004-2011
Abstract
In Sakha Republic (Yakutia) for the study period from 2004 to 2011, trends in epidemiologic process based on key indicators prove that epidemiological situation for (tuberculosis) TB in the region is tensed. We observed growth in incidence of TB cases presenting with destructions in lung tissue and bacillary-positive state, persisting trend towards increase in TB cases caused by MDR MTB, high proportion of deaths during the first year of outpatient follow-up for TB, and low coverage of the population with fluorographic mass examinations. The quality of anti-TB measures conducted by local health institutions varies between different socio-geographical zones of the republic. The study proved the need for better organized control of TB that would take into account differences in socio-geographic conditions, medical economics, technical resources, and staff availability in the regions of the republic, within the ongoing context of modernization of anti-TB service.
