Короткий опис (реферат):
Tuberculosis morbidity is increasing constantly in Ukraine and in Odessa region as well. In 2000 children morbidity have run up to 6,5 by 100, 000 children, adolescents to 33,4; adults – to 41,9 by 100,000 citizens. The most part of these cases falls to the share of lung pathology, but relatively low level (15,7 %) of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis proves imperfection of existing diagnostic methods. Recently in Ukraine bacterioscopy (flotation) and bacteriological (cultivation on nutrient media) are common methods of laboratory diagnostics. Effectiveness of bacteriological as well as fluorography and tuberculin tests is insufficient in cases of extra-pulmonary localizations and diseases causes by atypical mycobacteria.
