The World Health Organization (WHO) proclaimed tuberculosis to be the global danger. According to its forecasts there will be 90 million new tuberulosis cases in the world during the decade. Of those who will fall ill approximately 30 million people may die in the current decade unless the reaction to this global problem radically improves. Nowadays the world scientists distinguish threeunion tuberculosis epidemic: the first is the epidemic of typical tuberculosis that is treated well; the second is the epidemic of chemioresistant tuberculosis and the third one is the epidemic of tuberculosis and the AIDS.

n n The incidence of TB has slowly declined during the past years, reaching 48 (confidence intervals 44 -50) per 100 000 population in 2009. However there is a big discrepancy between east and west. The TB prevalence decreased from 96 (confidence intervals 70 -130) to 63 (confidence intervals 49 -81) per 100 000 population between 1990 and 2009 against a target of below the prevalence of 48 set out in the target for 2015. Mortality from TB must further decline, from 6. 9 (confidence intervals 5. 7 -8. 3) per 100 000 persons in 2009 to 6 by 2015.

According to the WHO criteria from 1995 tuberculosis epidemic has been registered in Ukraine in so far as tuberculosis patients comprise over 1 % of the total number of the population. The statistics of sickness in all the forms of tuberculosis in 2009 was 72, 7 persons per 100 thousand of the population. Alarming is the fact that tuberculosis “has turned younger”, its number among children, able-bodied and reproductive ages increases.

HISTORICAL REVIEW Tuberculosis, as an illness, is known since ancient times.

The principal clinical manifestations of tuberculosis are described still by Hippocrate, Gallen, Avizenna.

The fact that tuberculosis is infectious was confirmed by Fracastoro in the 16 th century.

It was Morton who published the first monograph “Phthisiology or a treatise on the phthisis” ( R. Morton, 1689) and named a science of tuberculosis “phthisiology” (from the Greek word “phthisis” – which means exhaustio. In the 17 th century the French anatomist Sylviy, describing the hurt lungs of patients who had died of phthisis, used the word “hump” (tuberculum).

However, it was only in the 19 th century in France that pathologists and therapeutists G. Bayle, and then R. Laennec proved the hump and caseous necrosis to be specific morphological substratum of tuberculosis. In 1865 the French physician B. Villemin experimentally proved the infectious nature of tuberculosis, though he could not reveal the pathogene.

In 1882 the German bacteriologist Robert Koch (fig. 1) discovered the pathogene of tuberculosis, which was named bacillus of Koch (BK). He was also the first who obtained tuberculin with the hope to successful treatment of tuberculosis patients. These expectations of the scientist did not come true, nevertheless for the purpose of diagnostics tuberculine has been used for over 100 years. Fig. 1. R. Koch (1843 -1910)

M. I. Pyrohov studied clinico-morphological properties of tuberculosis of various localization and for the first time described typhoid form of miliar tuberculosis, histologic structure of tuberculous granuloma. Further study of pathomorphological alterations at lungs tuberculosis was proceeded by A. I. Abrykosov and A. I. Strukov.

In 1887 R. Philip in Edinburgh (Scotland) founded the world first antituberculosis dispansery. This new institution offered the patients not only medical but also social help, which later on laid the foundation of the organization of antituberculosis service also in this country. In 1882 in Rome C. Forlanini offered artificial pneumothorax for treating lung tuberculosis patients.

In 1895 Wilhelm Kondrat Roentgen discovered X-rays, which have been widely used in medicine up to today. Actually, it’s known well enough that X-rays were discovered by Ukrainian scientist Ivan Pulyuy (1845 -1918) from Halichina 17 years earlier. However, he made his announcement about the discovery 7 days after Mr. Roentgen had made his one, thus the preference was given to Mr. Roentgen who received Nobel Prize.

An important achievement of the start of the 20 th century was the creation by the French scientists Calmette and Guerin (1919) of the antituberculosis vaccine BCG (Bacilles Calmette, Guerin). Since 1935 mass vaccination began. At the same time in 1924 Abre in Brazile introduced the method of fluorographic observation of the population for active revealing lung tuberculosis patients.

THE WORLD TUBERCULOSIS EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SITUATION More than 6 billion people live on our planet now. More than 2 billion of them suffer from various diseases. Every fifth earthman lives in extreme need and poverty, which has become the main death reason in the world. Today tuberculosis is the most widely spread infectious disease which ranks first as to the deathrate among the people from infectious pathology. Moreover, new misfortunes are added. In 2007 A. D. there are 30 -40 million carriers of the human immunodeficite virus in the world and 10 million AIDS patients, who increase the number of tuberculosis patients considerably.

According to the data of the World Health Organization half of the globe population is infected with tuberculosis mycobacteria. In some countries infectiousness of the population with tuberculosis reaches 80 -90 %. This is also true about Ukraine. Every year each tuberculosis patient can infect 10 -15 and more persons of which 5 -10 % will catch the disease.

Every year 7 -10 million people fall ill with tuberculosis all over the world, including 4 -4, 5 mln. – with bacterial secretion and about 3 mln. adults die of it (of these 97 % – in the developing countries) and approximately 300 thousand children. The total number of tuberculosis patients reaches 50 -60 mln. Nowadays tuberculosis is the most menacing illness for the whole mankind. It kills more patients worldwide than all the infectious and parasitic illnesses taken together. Present tuberculosis epidemic has acquired the global scales. In many parts of the world tuberculosis epidemic is beyond the control.

The highest tuberculosis statistics of sickness is noted in African and Asian regions, in the countries of the Pacific Ocean coast. Tuberculosis epidemic situation got worse in the countries of Europe too, especially in the countries of the former Socialist community. In 2007 the lowest tuberculosis index was registered in the highly developed countries, such as Malta (4, 2), Sweden (5), Norway (5, 5), Iceland (6, 2), Italy (8, 4 per 100000 of the population), the highest – in Romania (114, 6), in the former Soviet Union, as in Kirgistan (127, 8), Kazakhstan (126, 4), Georgia (124, 4), Turkmenistan (86, 1 per 100. 000 of the population) (fig. 3).

TUBERCULOSIS EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SITUATION IN UKRAINE If one looks into the past, he will see that from 1965 to 1990 the morbidity of all clinical forms of tuberculosis decreased 3, 6 -fold or from 115, 4 per 100 thousand population to 32, 0 per 100 thousand population; the deathrate for these years decreased 3, 3 -fold or from 27, 1 per 100 thousand population to 8, 1 per 100 thousand population. However, starting from 1990 a crucial moment occurred in tuberculosis epidemiological situation, it started to grow, which is vividly reflected in epidemiological indices.

Morbility on tuberculosis and HIV in Ukraine The statistics of morbidity in all forms of tuberculosis in Ukraine from 1990 to 2011 increased from 32 to 68, 4 per 100 thousand population/

The pathogenesis of tuberculosis. Infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent, follows a relatively well-defined sequence of events. The infectious bacilli are inhaled as droplets from the atmosphere. In the lung, the bacteria are phagocytosed by alveolar macrophages and induce a localized proinflammatory response that leads to recruitment of mononuclear cells from neighbouring blood vessels. These cells are the building blocks for the granuloma, or tubercle, that defines the

n The granuloma consists of a kernel of infected macrophages, surrounded by FOAMY GIANT CELLS and macrophages with a mantle of LYMPHOCYTES delineating the periphery of the structure. n This tissue response typifies the 'containment' phase of the infection, during which there are no overt signs of disease and the host does not transmit the infection to others. Containment fails after a change in the immune status of the host, which is usually a consequence of old age, malnutrition, or HIV-co-infection. n Under such circumstances, the centre of the granuloma undergoes caseation and spills viable, infectious bacilli into the airways. This leads to development of a productive cough that facilitates aerosol spread of infectious bacilli.

ORGANIZATION OF ANTITUBERCULOUS ACTIVITY IN THE PERIOD OF TUBERCULOSIS EPIDEMY Tuberculosis is a social disease and is a mirror of socialeconomic prosperity of the state and the well-being of its people, therefore antituberculous measures under present conditions must be taken on the national level by the government of the country. n At present time, the principal task in fighting tuberculosis in Ukraine is to take the epidemy of the illness under control (I stage), to stabilize the epidemiological indices (infestation, morbidity, sickliness and death rate) of tuberculosis (2 stage), and then their gradual decrease (3 stage). n For the successful organization of antituberculous measures close cooperation of the medical system, sanitaryepidemiological service and the organs of the state power is necessary. The general organization and methodological guidance of antituberculosis activity in this country is realized by the Ministry of Health Protection of Ukraine and Acad. F. G. Yanovsky Ukrainian phthisiology and pulmonology research institute (scheme 1). n

n n n Antituberculous dispensary (Engl. dispensation – distribution) is a specialized medicative-prophylactic institution, which work is aimed at lowering morbidity, sikliness, infestation with tuberculosis and death rate caused by it as well as at conducting a complex of organizational and methodical, prophylactic antituberculous measures among the district population. The main tasks of an antituberculous dispensary are: 1) prophylaxis; 2) early revealing; 3) treatment of tuberculosis patients; 4) registration of groups of tuberculosis patients and contingents of persons

DISPENSARY CATEGORY n n n Contingents of antitubercular dispensaries are divided into categories, which enables to examine them differentially, define the treatment tactics, perform prophylactic and rehabilitation actions. Contingents of adult persons, children and teenagers due to being observed at an antitubercular dispensary, are divided into 5 dispensary categories: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. To 5 categories (Cat 5) are referred dispensary contingents of risk to disease to a tuberculosis and its relapse.

n Other very important tasks of an antituberculous dispensary are revealing, registration and treating tuberculosis patients. The results of treating tuberculosis patients to a considerable degree depend on the disease being timely revealed. In this connection, firsty diagnozed tuberculosis patients are divided into three groups: timely, untimely and lately revealed. For children and teenagers the fourth group is separated – early revealing. n The main criteria of dividing patients into groups are the character of a specific process, the presence or absence of destruction (cavern) and bacterial excretion, peculiarities of the prognosis at treatment, the degree of a patient’s danger for healthy persons.

n Children and teenagers, in whom the following factors are diagnosed, compose a group of early revealed: n 1) tuberculin test range; n 2) primary tubinfestation; n 3) hyperergic Mantoux test; n 4) tuberculous intoxication.
