Abstract
Objective: The analysis of the tuberculosis epidemiological process tendencies among children and adolescents (0-17 years old) in one of the biggest regions of the Far East Federal District - in Sakha Republic (Yakutia).
Methods: Epidemiological tuberculosis indicators among child population of the republic from 2000 to 2019 were studied. Two periods were compared: from 2000 to 2009 - it's a period of socio-economic crisis, from 2010 to 2019 - it's a period of a relatively stable epidemic situation.
Results: During the period of epidemiological stabilization disease and tuberculosis primary infection rate among child population of Sakha Republic decreased by two times compared with the period from 2000 to 2009. At the same time infection spread rate reduced by eight times. However tuberculosis disease rate among child population is still exceeding average rate in Russia. The changes of the epidemiological indicators in different administrative districts in Yakutia are uneven.
Conclusion: Tuberculosis epidemiological situation among children population of Sakha Republic (Yakutia) has a stable tendency to improve. It is necessary to give territories different epidemiological characteristics in order to study the causes which influence epidemiological process and to develop anti-tuberculosis programs in order to improve the situation.
