[Evolution of annual risk of TB infection in Dolj county in the last 3 decades].
We determined the Ri (tuberculosis infection risk) of the last three decades in Dolj county. For estimating this, we used four calculation methods without neglecting the TSRU experts recommendations of evaluation. We estimated the Ri regarding the age groups and social environments by four methods using values of tuberculosis infection prevalence starting from 340.537 tuberculin tests accomplished during 1966-1995. We estimated an unique, medium Ri that has been 1% per year from 1970 until nowadays. The annual Ri decline is 1.5% comparing the risk from 1995 to the one from 1977 and 1.1% when we consider its value from 1995 compared to the one from 1980. This evolution of the Ri denotes the concerning situation in our county, similar to the national one.
