title: [Characteristics of tuberculosis epidemiology in Moscow and improvement measures].
abstract: The trends in tuberculosis morbidity for the recent 30 years and factors that caused tuberculosis incidence to rise by 13.5% in 1992 are analyzed. Infiltrative-disseminated, disseminated and fibrous-cavernous tuberculosis were diagnosed in 58.7%, 11.7% and 1.8% of cases, respectively. Destructive lesion was found in 50% of the patients. Tuberculosis mortality reached in 1992 4.6 per 100,000. Measures to control tuberculosis spread in Moscow are suggested.
