The article considers the epidemic situation of tuberculosis in the Republic of Mordovia for the period 2017-2021. The aim of the study is to analyze the epidemic situation of tuberculosis in the Republic of Mordovia. In this work, statistical data of Mordovia Statistics (territorial body of the Federal State Statistics Service for the Republic) are used. The incidence rate of active tuberculosis among the permanent resident population in the reporting year increased by 4.3% and amounted to 16.8 per 100 thousand population, 131 cases of newly detected active tuberculosis were registered. The total mortality from tuberculosis in 2021 increased by 12.5% and amounted to 1.8 per 100 thousand population or 14 cases. The detection rate of active tuberculosis by the population in 2021 increased and amounted to 42%. Preventive checks for tuberculosis in 2021 involved 610143 persons or 79.5% of the total population of the Republic. In the course of a retrospective analysis of the epidemiological situation in the Republic of Mordovia for the periods 2017-2021, positive changes were identified due to the quality of anti-epidemic measures and the level of etiological verification of pulmonary tuberculosis. At the same time, negative trends have also been identified, due to the pathomorphosis of tuberculosis of the respiratory organs at the present stage of the epidemic process, which require further studies to provide solutions.
