Children and adolescents are most susceptible to the development of tuberculosis, especially when they have concomitant diseases, which lead to a decrease in both humoral and cellular immunity. One of these co-morbidities is helminthiasis. It has been proven that the body’s immune response to worm infestation is reduced, which in turn contributes to the addition of various infections, including tuberculosis. The aim of the study was to study the specifics of the clinical course of primary tuberculosis in children with helminthiasis treated at the Samarkand Regional Center for Tuberculosis and Pulmonology, the patient's medical history and archival history. The most common types of helminthiasis are hymenolepidosis - 40%, enterobiosis - 33%, less - giardiasis (22%) and ascariasis (5%). Signs of intoxication and damage to the bronchopulmonary system are detected when worm infestation is observed in patients with primary tuberculosis. The presence of a worm infestation adversely affects the treatment of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, so treatment measures should be appropriate for the course of both diseases. Keywords: primary tuberculosis, helminthiasis, children, patient, chemotherapy.
