Numbers of tuberculosis notifications in England and Wales increased by 8% from 1987 to 1989. An analysis of notifications by age and sex has been undertaken to determine whether this increase has been due to an increase in young male adults, as has occurred in the USA, implying that HIV is largely responsible for the increase in notifications. Though notifications increased by 9.5% in younger males between 1987 and 1989 they also increased by over 10% amongst most age groups of females, and elderly males. These findings would suggest that there are a number of factors causing a rise in tuberculosis notifications, and that HIV is not yet directly implicated in England and Wales.
1987年至1989年间，英格兰和威尔士的结核病通报病例数增加了8%。已对按年龄和性别分类的通报病例进行分析，以确定这种增加是否如美国那样是由于年轻男性成年人数量增加所致，这意味着艾滋病病毒在很大程度上导致了通报病例数的增加。虽然1987年至1989年间年轻男性的通报病例数增加了9.5%，但大多数女性年龄组以及老年男性的通报病例数也增加了10%以上。这些发现表明，有多种因素导致结核病通报病例数上升，在英格兰和威尔士，艾滋病病毒尚未直接涉及其中。
