This study aims to present the results of an epidemiological analysis of the current situation associated with
the epidemic process of tuberculosis in the Republic of Tatarstan and the Russian Federation for the period of
2012-2017. This paper provides insights into the incidence among the general population and among children
aged 0–14 years, coverage of neonatal tuberculosis with immunization, photoroentgenography examination,
and tuberculosis mortality for the period of 2012–2017. The information obtained in the course of the study
indicates the relevance of the studied socially significant infectious disease, taking into account the clinical and
epidemiological features of this pathology. In this paper, we analyzed data from the state reports of
Rospotrebnadzor "On the state of sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population of the Russian
Federation", the Office of Rospotrebnadzor for the Republic of Tatarstan "On the state of sanitary and
epidemiological well-being of the population of the Republic of Tatarstan", the data forms of federal state
statistical observation No. 8 "Information about active tuberculosis diseases” and No. 33 “Information about
patients with tuberculosis” for the period of 2012-2017. In this study, the methods of epidemiological analysis
and generally accepted methods of variation statistics were used. It was established that a decrease in the
incidence of tuberculosis by 28.9% among the total population is registered in the Russian Federation (2012 -
67.7; 2017 - 48.09 per 100 thousand of the population, respectively). A similar trend is observed in the
Republic of Tatarstan. Thus, during the analyzed period, a decrease in the incidence rate of the infectious
disease under study is observed by 28.2% (from 47.1 per 100 thousand of the population in 2012 to 33.79 per
100 thousand of the population in 2017). For the period of 2012-2017, the vaccination coverage of Bacillus
Calmette-Guérin remains stable (2012 - 96%; 2017 - 95%) in the Russian Federation, the coverage of
preventive vaccinations against tuberculosis among the population of the Republic of Tatarstan is at least 95%.
During the analyzed period, a favorable sanitary and epidemiological situation for such a socially significant
infectious disease as tuberculosis should be characterized as favorable in the Russian Federation and the
Republic of Tatarstan.
