Abstract
The problems of unfavorable rates of tuberculosis in Uzbekistan allow us to focus on pulmonary tuberculosis in the elderly and senile. The proportion of tuberculosis in the elderly and senile in the structure of age-related incidence in Uzbekistan is about 20%, in Andijan region - 15–16%. The problem of isolating pulmonary tuberculosis in elderly and senile people is dictated by the peculiarities of physiological and pathogenetic processes, a decrease in the diagnostic value of many symptoms of the disease, untimely diagnosis, insufficient effectiveness of conservative chemotherapy, and the presence of drug-resistant forms of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MBT), a high proportion of comorbidity, the occurrence of adverse reactions to drugs.
