During the 1993-1997 diphtheria epidemic in Tajikistan, the incidence rate was the highest observed throughout the Newly Independent States of the former Soviet Union (76.2 cases/100,000 population in 1995). Factors that contributed to this situation included an increase in the number of persons who were not fully immunized, a breakdown of health care services and disease surveillance, civil war, an increase in migration, shortages of qualified medical personnel, and shortages of products, resources, and services. The Ministry of Health and numerous international organizations have worked to address the needs of the republic, and in the fourth quarter of 1995, the number of reported cases began to decrease. It is believed that this decrease was largely the result of routine immunization, implementation of national immunization days, and use of a World Health Organization-recommended system for working with patients and contacts, and it underscores the importance of universal diphtheria immunization with special booster doses in such an epidemic setting.
