In early 1999, more than 160 senior physicians, public health officials, and nurses met to discuss London's tuberculosis (TB) control program. The program was examined against the public health response of New York City's Bureau of Tuberculosis Control during a 1988 to 1992 epidemic. This article outlines TB epidemiology and control in New York City 10 years ago and in London today to assess whether the kind of epidemic that occurred in New York could occur in London.
1999年初,160多名资深医生、公共卫生官员和护士齐聚一堂,讨论伦敦的结核病控制项目。该项目与纽约市结核病控制局在1988年至1992年疫情期间的公共卫生应对措施进行了对比研究。本文概述了10年前纽约市以及如今伦敦的结核病流行病学情况和控制措施,以评估纽约曾发生的那种疫情是否会在伦敦出现。
