[Tuberculosis in the city of Bucharest in 1989-1993].
The global incidence of tuberculosis increased during the last 5 years in the city of Bucharest by 37.8%, from 84.2%000 in 1989 to 116.0%000 in 1993. The risk of disease was permanently higher in the rural area of the Ilfov Agricultural Sector (148.5%000 in 1993). During 1993 almost 55% of new cases of pulmonary tuberculosis registered in the city of Bucharest presented advanced lesions on case-finding; 71% of these cases were tb bacilli eliminators. In the epidemiological conditions induced by a marked increase of contamination sources (periodic prevalence of tb bacilli eliminators reached 111.6%000 in 1993) the disease risk in children increased as well in Bucharest from 19.6%000 in 1989 to 38.3%000 in 1993. Tuberculosis control in Bucharest benefits from a rather complex material basis which should be improved according to the present day epidemiological conditions.
