Overview

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease the incidence of which is decreasing step-by-step in the Czech Republic. Despite optimistic presumptions in the course of the last century, it never ceased to be a global problem. The reason for that is not only the higher mobility of the inhabitants from developing countries with the high incidence of tuberculosis but also an increasing number of resistent species. Therefore, the efficient and managable measures of detection of individuals affected by tuberculosis should be maintained. This text aims at brief summarizing the principles of diagnostics and treatment of tuberculosis in the epidemiologically stabilized population.

Key words:
tuberculosis, antituberculotics, Mycobacterium tuberculosis
