Tuberculosis in the United Kingdom : epidemiology, immigration and control

2012-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a public health concern in high-income countries, such as the UK, with disease notifications primarily, and disproportionately, occurring in foreign-born immigrants who have a higher TB incidence than the local-born population. Underlying this epidemiology is the synergy of migration from high TB burden regions and the reactivation of imported latent TB infection (LTBI) in the ini...
