Tuberculosis PostersSESSION TYPE: Poster PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMPURPOSE: Romania still has the greatest number of tuberculosis cases from the EU countries. During 2002-2012, the incidence of tuberculosis in Romania decreased by 44% from 142.2 %000 to 79 %000. Even under these conditions, we retain the position of EU leaders in the number of TB cases. TB mortality has also decreased in this period. This study want to evaluate the incidence of tuberculosis in Romania since 2008-2012. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Constantin Marica, Didilescu Cristian, Mihaela Tanasescu, Beatrice Mahler, Gina Ana CiolanNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.
