The aim of study is to conduct a comparative analysis of the causes of death from CAP in a highly affected region on HIV-infection due in 2017 compared to the year when HIV-infection began to be recorded in 2002. The cases of death of patients with CAP are analyzed in case histories in 2002 and 2017 in the pulmonology department of a large industrial center. In total, in the hospital in 2002, there were 1072 patients diagnosed with CAP, in 2017 there were 2327 patients. Mortality rate in 2002 was 2.6%, in 2017 – 1.1%. Analysis of mortality of patients with CAP for 2017 compared to 2002 showed that significant changes occurred: deaths from CAP in HIV-patients (in 2002-0%), increased detection of tuberculosis in 2017, died with tuberculosis 1.5% (2002-0%). The number of late visits and first aid calls has increased, more often men die, the age of the dead has decreased by almost 10 years.
