Abstract
The article presents data on two of the main epidemiological rates defining the burden of tuberculosis in the system of WHO global statistics tuberculosis incidence and mortality.
The article specifies the formation of WHO assessment of tuberculosis incidence and provides main data on the evaluation and notification of new cases in certain countries, WHO regions and worldwide.
Data presented in the article include the comparison of definitions of incidence and values of registered incidence of tuberculosis, obtained in Russia, worldwide and countries of WHO European Region.
The article speculates on the tuberculosis detection in WHO understanding, in particular on the use of systematic screening. The explanation is given why the rate of prevalence is not commonly used in the latest WHO publications.
