THE COMPARISON OF THE TB EPIDEMIOLOGY AND SYSTEM OF TB CONTROL ACTIVITIES IN LONDON AND MOSCOW

Abstract

The article discusses the features of the epidemiology of tuberculosis and the organization of TB control activities in the capital-metropolis on the example of London and Moscow. In these cities there is about the same incidence of tuberculosis (about 40 per 100 thousand population) and similar problems with a significant number of migrants and persons at risk of tuberculosis. At the same time, the organization of TB control in London and Moscow differs significantly: a decentralized system based on the registration of cases
for treatment which is provided preferably on an outpatient basis, in the first capital, and centralized system with dispensary follow-up of patients and mainly hospital treatment – in the second capital. Such approaches are related primarily to different epidemiological environment of the considered cities: low incidence in the whole of Great Britain, which is 3 times lower than in London, and a high incidence in other regions of the Russian Federation, which is 1.7 times higher than in Moscow.
