In the Kyrgyz Republic (KR), several thousands of people including children and teenagers diagnosed with STD for the first time are registered annually.Objective: To study the common incidence rate, including STD morbidity rate, in children and teenagers.Methods:The analysis of STD case rate and prevalence, in dynamics, during 2007–2014 (primary case rate, STDs prevalence) was conducted using social and hygienic, analytical, and statistical methods. The data of official statistics of National Statistical Committee and the Ministry of Health of the Territory are applied.Results: During the eight analyzed years the morbidity rate of diseases of genitourinary system increased by 17.6% (from 37.3‰ in 2007 up to 43.9‰ in 2014; р<0.05). The highest rates were registered in teenage girls aged 15–17 years during the period from 2007 to 2014: 52.3–54.4 (per 1000 girls in this age group) with fluctuations up to 58.8 in 2010 that authentically differed from similar indicators in young men: 22.0–40.4 (per 1000 young men in this age group; р<0.05). In young men the incidence rate increased almost twofold (р<0.05). Positive dynamics was observed from 2007 to 2014: gonorrhea incidence rate in children decreased from 1.1±0.2 to 0.4±0.01 cases, and in teenagers — from 5.7±0.4 to 4.1±0.3 cases per 100 thousand corresponding population (р<0.01).Conclusion: Incidence rate increase in pathology of genitourinary system in general population and also in adolescents requires development and implementation of the effective prophylaxis programs for STD in children and adolescents, the careful analysis of the collected statistical data, and registration of cases in the private medical facilities.
