title: [Recurrent tuberculosis in the Sverdlovsk Region].
abstract: In 2000 to 2005, there was a 1.8-fold increase in the rate of early recurrences and a 1.6-fold decrease in late recurrences in the Sverdlovsk Region. In the prisoners, early recurrences were 21 times more frequently observed than in the general population, which make up a significant majority of all the recurrences of tuberculosis. In conclusion, during preventive examinations, recurrences are mainly detected with earlier forms of tuberculosis as compared with the recurrences recorded in the municipal entities of the region. In adult males, the rates of primary morbidity were 3.2 times higher in adult males than in females; those of early and late recurrences were 8.1 and 5 times higher, respectively. In adults aged 18-44 years, the rates of primary morbidity and early recurrences of tuberculosis were 1.7 times higher than those in the persons aged 45 years or more; those of late recurrences were 1.6 times less.
