Abstract
The main trends in the tuberculosis (TB) incidence in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), over the period from 2013 to 2018 were revealed.
The following rates were analyzed (based on reports from facilities subordinate to Ministry of Health of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), and reports from all agencies irrespective of subordination): TB incidence rates among general population; TB incidence among adults; TB incidence among children and adolescents; TB incidence among urban and rural population; incidence of pulmonary TB; incidence of TB cases positive for M.tuberculosis (MTB); incidence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR) in Sakha Republic (Yakutia) in the dynamics. Favorable epidemiologic situation for TB was observed. The obtained findings call for more improvements in conducting anti-TB activities among rural population, and comprehensive measures to decrease the incidence of MDR TB.
