Abstract

As per the WHO data, tuberculosis is often associated with HIV-infection and remains one of the prevalent causes of death among women of the reproductive age in regions with unfavorable epidemiological situation. Due to high HIV incidence in Gomel region, the epidemiology of tuberculosis in women of the reproductive age demands to be thoroughly studied. As the conducted study has showed women aged 18-45 make 1/5 of new cases of lung tuberculosis among HIV-negative women and 1/3 among HIV-positive patients. The age peak is 25-40 regardless of the HIV-status. 27.7 % women aged 18-45 who detected tuberculosis were HIV-positive. In 10 % women of this age pregnancy and parturition preceded tuberculosis which was not associated with HIV-infection.
