In order to limit the spread of tuberculosis among HIV-infected patients there have been studied contingents of patients with HIV infection and tuberculosis associated with HIV infection in the Russian Federation as well as the assistance to them on the report form of federal statistical observation No. 61 "Information on the groups of patients with HIV infection" (for 14 years) and the record form "Map of the personal account of the patient with tuberculosis associated with HIV infection" (for 7 years). The research showed that a substantial part of patients with HIV infection (over 30 %) with high-risk of tuberculosis do not pass timely chemoprophylaxis and screening for tuberculosis. Undiagnosed tuberculosis patients are the source of the disease for the population. There are offered measures which could improve coverage of HIV-infected patients with preventive measures and screening examinations for tuberculosis.
