Implementing the tasks to reduce the burden of tuberculosis (TB) in Russia while striving for the declared WHO indicators weighs primarily on the general medical network. The main condition for reducing the incidence and prevalence of TB is its timely diagnosis with a comprehensive examination of the patient. The issues of the interaction with the anti-tuberculosis service begin at the stage of screening activities among the population or examination of a patient with complaints in suspected TB. The paper presents main information from the existing guidelines on adult TB, which is necessary in general medical practice, and the reasons that reduce the effectiveness of anti-tuberculosis measures.
