title: [THE TUBERCULOSIS EPIDEMIC SITUATION IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION BY EARLY 2009].
abstract: The paper presents data on the Russian Federation's tuberculosis epidemic situation established by early 2009 and on the organi- zation of antituberculosis care to the population. The tuberculosis epidemic situation continues to remain tense. The indicators of the organization of antituberculosis care changed ambiguously: most of them improved, the others became stable or worse. Prognoses have been drawn up for tuberculosis mortality and morbidity in 2009-2011 depending on the course of the economic crisis.
