Abstract
The results of an assessment of the epidemiological situation regarding tuberculosis in Russia and in the states of the world most affected by the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) are presented. The effect of a number of factors that led to an increase in mortality rates from tuberculosis against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic is shown. The main problems of organizing the prevention and control of tuberculosis during a pandemic are outlined, related both to the complexity of the work of medical organizations (multiple increase in the number of patients, reduced availability of TB care, reduction in healthcare resources, etc.), and the influence of the “human factor” (for example, refusal to be tested for tuberculosis due to fear of infection with COVID-19). It was established that untimely and defective diagnosis of tuberculosis led to an imaginary decrease in the incidence rate. It was concluded that the complex effect of the above epidemic risk factors after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic can lead to a complication of the epidemiological situation and an increase in morbidity and mortality from tuberculosis infection.
