RKI. Aufmerksamkeit wichtig für Tuberkulosekontrolle
Deutschland gehört bei der Tuberkulose zu den sogenannten Niedriginzidenzländern, für die das Ziel der Weltgesundheitsorganisation gilt, die Zahl der Neuerkrankungen bis zum Jahr 2035 auf weniger als 1 pro 100.000 Einwohner zu senken. In den vergangenen Jahren hat das Robert Koch-Institut für Deutschland einen kontinuierlichen Rückgang der Tuberkulose-Fallzahlen registriert, besonders ausgeprägt in den Jahren 2019 (4.815 Fälle) und 2020 (4.185 Fälle). Im Jahr 2021 (3.938 Fälle) fiel der Rückgang geringer aus. Für das Jahr 2022 zeigt sich nun ein leichter Anstieg der Fallzahlen auf 4.076 Fälle (Stand 1.3.2023), das entspricht einer Inzidenz von 4,9 pro 100.000 Einwohner. "Daraus lässt sich jedoch aktuell keine Änderung des langfristigen Trends ableiten", heißt es im Editorial des Epidemiologischen Bulletins 11/2023 zum Schwerpunktthema Tuberkulose anlässlich des Welttuberkulosetages am 24. März.
(…)
Die Entwicklung im Jahr 2022 dürfte vor allem mit den Folgen des Kriegsgeschehens in der Ukraine in Zusammenhang stehen. In diesem Jahr kam es erwartbar zu einer Erhöhung der Tuberkulosefälle in der Gruppe der in der Ukraine geborenen Menschen. Sie haben aufgrund der höheren Inzidenz von Tuberkulose in ihrem Heimatland (etwa 70/100.000 Einwohner) ein höheres Infektions- und Erkrankungsrisiko. Das Krankheitsgeschehen in der in Deutschland geborenen Bevölkerung konzentriert sich mittlerweile auf die Altersgruppen über 80 Jahre, die ihre Infektion in Zeiten erwarben, als Tuberkulose auch in Deutschland häufiger auftrat. Eine Erkrankung tritt bei Erwachsenen häufig erst nach Jahren oder Jahrzehnten auf. (Pressemitteilung des RKI, 16.03.2023)

365 Days of War: Ukrainian HIV/TB Response Stands Strong!
On February 24, 2022, at 5.00 a.m., russia started its large-scale military offensive on the territory of Ukraine. The shortest month of a year turned out to be the longest bloodshed of a year for Ukrainians and the entire civilized world.
These 12 months of the large-scale war caused the largest migration movement in Europe since the World War II — 15 million Ukrainians have left their homes and became internally displaced persons (IDPs) or refugees; over 1,370 healthcare facilities in Ukraine have been destroyed or damaged by russian invaders, who are committing war crimes against the population denying civilians access to vital services and treatment, torturing and killing people. People living with HIV and TB, clients of programs supported by Alliance, social workers, and physicians are dying as a result of the war. (APH - Alliance for Public Health, Ukraine, 23.02.2023)

HIV prevention, diagnosis and care for Ukrainian refugees in Poland
(…) Ukraine has long had one of the highest disease burdens of HIV of the 53 countries of the European Region. Figures from 2021 indicated that almost quarter of a million Ukrainians were living with the disease, and certain groups, such as drug users, men who have sex with men, and sex workers, are at higher vulnerability and risk of infection, just as everywhere in the world.
The escalation of military operations in Ukraine triggered a large-scale movement of refugees into surrounding countries. In addition to health needs directly caused by the hostilities, including trauma care, significant numbers of refugees required treatment for chronic health conditions, including HIV. (WHO, Genf, 27.12.2022)
