Abstract
Goal of the study: to analyze the tendencies in tuberculosis situation among children in Sakha Republic (Yakutia) for the last ten years when some new diagnostic tools have been introduced.
Materials and methods. The analysis included data of official statistic reporting on tuberculosis (Form no. 33) among children in Sakha Republic (Yakutia) from 2005 to 2014. During this period of time tuberculosis was newly diagnosed in 647 children in the age from 0 to 14 years old. Their ethnicity, age, tuberculosis detection methods, clinical forms, frequency of bacillary excretion and types of complications were studied.
Results. In 2005-2009 in Sakha Republic (Yakutia) the part of children among all new tuberculosis cases made 11.2% and in 2010-2014 it reduced down to 8.2%. The number of children who developed tuberculosis reduced by 51.5% in 2014 versus 2005 (2014 – 51, 2005 – 105 cases). Among new tuberculosis cases in children the exposure to tuberculosis was identified in 57.9% (2005-2009) and in 73.9% (2010-2014), which provided the evidence of severe burden of tuberculosis in the Republic. The part of children in age from 0 to 2 years old made 20.8% in 2005-2009 and 20.4% in 2010-2014. Children in the age from 7 to 14 years old developed tuberculosis the most often. In 2005-2009 tuberculosis was detected in children mostly by tuberculin tests (70.4%) and in 2010-2014 during examination after exposure to a tuberculosis case (43.6%) and less frequently by tuberculin tests (40.2%).
