[Urogenital tuberculosis in the Ukraine population]

The prevalence and incidence rates of urogenital tuberculosis in the Ukraine in the past 10 years were studied. They tended to decrease in the first period (1988-1992) and to become stable in the second period (1993-1997), being equal to 10.71 and 1.0 per 100,000. In the past 5 years, the incidence of urogenital tuberculosis tended to increase among urban residents as compared to rural ones. These changes show a total trend in the population living in the radioactively polluted area.
