We studied a cohort of patients requiring renal dialysis who had migrated to the United Kingdom from tuberculosis (TB)-endemic countries and found extremely high rates of TB (1,187 cases per 100,000 per year), partly associated with end-stage diabetic renal disease. We recommend enhanced vigilance and screening of such patients, both to reduce illness and death and to prevent nosocomial spread of TB among susceptible persons.
我们研究了一组从结核病流行国家移民到英国且需要进行肾透析的患者,发现其结核病发病率极高(每年每10万人中有1187例),部分与终末期糖尿病肾病有关。我们建议对此类患者加强监测和筛查,以减少疾病和死亡,并防止结核病在易感人群中发生医院内传播。
