Description
Summary:	In the early 21st century, the prevalence rate of tuberculosis infection in the North-West (North-Western Federal District, NWFD) of Russia remains less than the Russian one. There have been no specific changes in the epidemic situation in the past 6 years. It is early to speak about of stabilization as the epidemiological indices are very unsteady. Their nature is suggestive of the preserving tension of the tuberculosis epidemic situation in the NWFD of the Russian Federation.
