| Summary: | In 2012, the tuberculosis epidemic situation continued to be stable in the penitentiaries. Tuberculosis morbidity and mortality rates were 1085.5 and 86.8 per 100,000 average listed patients, respectively. The rate of a reduction in the above indicators was 7.9 and 23.9%, respectively. Among the patients, the proportion of young people declined. The higher incidence of tuberculosis and human immunodeficiency virus co-infection and the spread of antituberculosis drug-resistance in the pathogen are a threat to the stabilization of the tuberculosis epidemic situation in the penitentiaries of Russia. In 2012, the proportion of tuberculosis and human immunodeficiency virus-coinfected patients was 16.3% and that of patients with multidrug-resistant patients was 22.1%. Some released prisoners with active tuberculosis are not registered in the civil health facilities; in this connection, it is relevant to establish a total registry of patients with tuberculosis. |
