title: [Current epidemiological surveillance of tuberculosis].
abstract: Some present-day specific epidemiological, microbiological and clinical features of tuberculosis are presented. A variant of the epidemiological surveillance morbidity scheme, comprising 3 blocks, viz. information, analysis and management, is proposed. In the information block the basic data necessary for epidemic analysis is listed, while the diagnostic block contains the stage-by-stage analysis of the information block data.
