Abstract

Goal of the study: to evaluate tuberculosis epidemic situation in Azerbaijan in 2011-2015. Materials and methods. The following tuberculosis rates were analyzed and compared: incidence, prevalence and mortality for 5 years (2011-2015) basing on the data of official statistic reporting (Form no.8 and Form no. 20) for 2011-2015. Results. During 5 years (2011-2015) tuberculosis incidence decreased by 22.2%, prevalence by 20.3%, mortality by 7.3%, tuberculosis incidence in children by 28.5% and prevalence by 35.6%. These positive changes resulted from strengthening and optimization of tuberculosis care in the Republic.
