[Epidemic situation of tuberculosis in the Urals and Volga-Vyatka Regions and immediate tasks of the service].
There is a disease spreading trend in the development of an epidemic process in the past decade (1992-2001). The number of patients with active tuberculosis increased by 2-2.5 times. In 2001, the morbidity rate first decreased by 3% in both regions. In overall, the epidemic situation is regarded as tense. The greatest priorities of work under the conditions of these regions are given. Emphasis is laid on that regional tuberculosis controlling programmes should be financially supported.
