In modern healthcare, the problem of detecting and treating tuberculosis (T) remains relevant. For example, the incidence of T in various regions of the Ural Federal District over the past 10 years has remained at the level of 56.4-127 per 100 thousand population, the prevalence – from 130 to
301.8 with mortality from 9.3 to 39.8. At the same time, the incidence rate does not actually change, while the mortality rate tends to increase: 13.4 in 1996, 19.8 – in 2005.An equally important problem is the high level of multidrug resistance of mycobacterium tuberculosis (MBT) as in newly diagnosed
patients, and in the contingents. A characteristic feature is a low level of detection of patients with
extrapulmonary localizations of T, the proportion of which among all patients is 1.4–5.3% [4].
