Gender and age specifics of those suffering from urogenital tuberculosis
Abstract
Despite the significant reduction of tuberculosis incidence, the epidemic of tuberculosis is still there in Siberia and Far East.
The changes in gender and age specifics have been analyzed in those suffering from respiratory tuberculosis, female genital tuberculosis and urological tuberculosis in Siberia and Far East for the last 6 years. It has been found out that in case of respiratory and genital tuberculosis there is a stable identical situation with highest incidence in those from 25 to 34 years old. Apparently this stable situation implies well organized early detection.
As regards urological tuberculosis each year the situation is very diverse with the prevalence of incidence varying in the gender and age which from our opinion implies the lack of timely detection.
