Relevance. Over the past two decades, due to the effectiveness of anti-epidemic measures, the incidence of infectious diseases in the Republic of Dagestan (RD) has been declining. However for some nosologies it is considerably higher than the Russian Federation average.Objective. To analyze the incidence of infectious diseases in RD in 2019–2022 in order to identify areas for preventive and anti-epidemic measures to be strengthened.Material and methods. The data on morbidity taken from federal statistical observation form No. 2 «Information on infectious and parasitic diseases», State reports on sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, prepared by Rospotrebnadzor and the Department of Rospotrebnadzor for Dagestan Republic were analyzed. A descriptive epidemiological method was used, which does not require statistical data processing.Results and discussion. In 2022, in the Republic of Dagestan, the infectious disease incidence was 7492.2 per 100 thousand of the population, which is 22.2% lower than in 2021, but higher than the long-term average (6149.4). In 2022, compared to 2021, there was a decrease in the incidence of 10 nosoforms of infectious diseases in the RD and 6 in the Russian Federation. Along with a decrease in morbidity, there is an increase in morbidity, in particular Sonne dysentery by 5.1 times, аcute intestinal infections (established etiology) by 39.3%. chronic hepatitis B by 97.9%, chronic hepatitis C by 2.14 times, whooping cough by 5.1 times, chicken pox by 18.6%, mumps by 2.2 times, brucellosis by 24.4%, HIV-infection by 36.3%, influenza 43.4 times. In the structure of infectious and parasitic diseases in 2022, as in previous years, acute infections of the upper respiratory tract and аcute intestinal infections prevailed.Conclusions. Despite the ongoing systematic work aimed at reducing the incidence of infectious diseases and the progress made in improving the situation with a number of infections, more measures are needed to combat acute intestinal infections, hepatitis B and C, HIV-infection, brucellosis.
