    AbstractA 2-year study of all lethal outcomes in active tuberculosis in the Russian Federation has shown that 64.2% of patients died from progression of the specific process or its complications, 35.8%--from other diseases. A distinctive feature was that 42.8% of these were aged 20 to 49. The number of men exceeded that of women 5.8-fold. The negative factors were as follows: primary detection on consultation (47.9%), late diagnosis of far advanced forms of tuberculosis (23.4%), violation of the principles of chemotherapy by undisciplined patients, alcohol abuse and alcoholism among men (63.5%) and women (31.7%), concomitant diseases (58%).
