DYNAMICS OF MORBIDITY AND TERRITORIAL SPREAD OF INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS

Introduction. The features of long-term dynamics of infectious mononucleosis morbidity and its territorial distribution remain not fully studied, which determined the purpose of this study. Material and methods. According to the form № 2 “Information on infectious and parasitic diseases” analyzed the incidence RATES in the Russian Federation for 1990-2018 years, ranking of average long-term levels of morbidity in the context of 85 subjects of the Russian Federation for 2009-2018 years. To process the information used conventional statistical methods. Results. In the long-term dynamics of morbidity of infectious mononucleosis the Russian Federation in 1990-2018, a tendency to increase, frequency with an interval of 5-7 years, a significant excess of the average long-term morbidity rates of children 0-14 years over persons over 15 years. Ranking of subjects of the Russian Federation by average long-term levels of morbidity for the period 20092018 revealed their uneven distribution within the country. Discussion. The obtained data do not contradict the results of other authors' research. The distinctive features of this study are: the study of long-term dynamics of morbidity for the entire period of its official registration with the establishment of frequency; analysis of morbidity of persons older than 15 years (in the available literature there is information only on the total and children's population); study of territorial prevalence of infectious mononucleosis the Russian Federation with the identification of its heterogeneity. Conclusions. Long-term dynamics of morbidity of infectious mononucleosis the Russian Federation in 1990-2018 is characterized by a tendency to increase and a periodicity of 5-7 years, the most pronounced in the age category “persons over 15 years”. The average long-term morbidity rate of children aged 0-14 years for 1990-2018 was significantly higher than that in the group of people over 15 years. The ranking of subjects of the Russian Federation by the average long-term levels of morbidity (2009-2018) revealed an uneven distribution of indicators within the country.
