Abstract:
The tuberculosis epidemiological situation has greatly deteriorated in the Republic of Kazakhstan in recent years. Tuberculosis morbidity has annually increased by 11.1% and, but in 1995 it amounted to as much as 100 per 100,000 in some areas and mortality was 29.5%. Forty five thousand patients with active tuberculosis types are registered at tuberculosis dispensaries, among them 12 thousand patients isolate Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The main reason is sharply deteriorated socioeconomical conditions and lower volumes of antituberculous measures.
