Tóm tắt :

Since 1 January 2008, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the WHO Regional Office for Europe have jointly been coordinating the tuberculosis (TB) surveillance activities in the WHO European Region. Their aim is to ensure a high quality of standardized TB data covering all 53 Member States of the WHO European Region and Liechtenstein. In 2008, 461 645 TB cases (52.2 per 100 000 population) were reported by 50 countries of the European Region, representing approximately 6% of TB cases reported worldwide to WHO. Overall notifications have shown an increasing trend since 2004. However, compared with the previous year, the number of TB cases decreased by 2.6%. TB notification and mortality rates generally increase from west to east across the European Region. While the burden of disease in the 18 high priority countries (87.6% of total cases) decreased from the previous year by 3.9%, the overall rate remained twice as high as that for the Region as a whole (104.5 compared with 52.2 per 100 000) and more than six times higher than the rate in the European Union and the European Economic Area (EU/EEA) countries. The 2008 data collection records an improvement in the quality of the reported information on multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB). However, completeness of the data remains suboptimal. MDR-TB remains a threat to the EU/EEA with an increase from 4.0% to 6.0% of the proportion of combined MDR-TB. Furthermore, the increase of acquired MDR-TB in countries that had seen a reversal of the trend in previous years could indicate a worsening of programmatic MDR-TB control. v, 124 p.
