The present tuberculosis epidemic situation in Russia is marked by an increasing role of exogenous infection. The peak deteriorated epidemic situation was observed in 1993 and 1999. There was a considerable deterioration of the epidemic situation in 1999 due to the economic crisis in August 1998, which caused a drastic fall in living conditions. Trends for an epidemic process changed in the 1990s. Spread of tuberculous infection occurs by the same mechanisms as did in the early 20th century. The official incidence of tuberculosis does not completely reflect actual morbidity (nearly by 15%) due to the fact that patients with tuberculosis have not been detected.
俄罗斯目前的结核病疫情以外源感染作用日益增强为特征。1993年和1999年出现了疫情恶化的高峰。1999年由于1998年8月的经济危机导致生活条件急剧下降，疫情出现了相当大的恶化。20世纪90年代疫情发展趋势发生了变化。结核感染的传播机制与20世纪初相同。由于未检测出结核病患者，官方公布的结核病发病率并未完全反映实际发病情况（相差近15%）。
