Review[Tuberculosis epidemiology and disease control in Uzbekistan].
The tuberculosis situation is complicated in Uzbekistan and in other countries of the world. In the past 5 years, due to the transition from mass prophylactic examinations to the differential surveys of population groups, the annual coverage of the population to be examined by fluorographic studies has reduced from 6 to 3.5 million along with a simultaneous rise in tuberculosis detection rates from 0.1 to 0.24% and in its incidence by 33.3%. Searches for new organizational forms of tuberculosis control work are under way. The State programme on tuberculosis control and the draft law of the Republic of Uzbekistan, which regulate associated measures have been developed.
