The National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System received 1,076 tuberculosis (TB) notifications in 2004, of which 1,043 were new cases and 33 were relapses. The incidence of TB in Australia has remained at a stable rate since 1985 and was 5.4 cases per 100,000 population in 2004. The high-incidence groups remain people born overseas and Indigenous Australians at 21.7 and 8.1 cases per 100,000 population, respectively. By contrast, the incidence of TB in the non-Indigenous Australian-born population was 1.0 cases per 100,000 population. Comparison of the 2004 TB notification data against the performance indicators set by National Tuberculosis Advisory Committee highlights that enhanced TB control measures should be considered among these high-risk groups.
国家法定传染病监测系统在2004年收到了1076例结核病通报，其中1043例为新发病例，33例为复发病例。自1985年以来，澳大利亚的结核病发病率一直保持稳定，2004年为每10万人中有5.4例。高发病群体仍然是出生在海外的人和澳大利亚原住民，发病率分别为每10万人中有21.7例和8.1例。相比之下，在出生于澳大利亚的非原住民人口中，结核病发病率为每10万人中有1.0例。将2004年结核病通报数据与国家结核病咨询委员会设定的绩效指标进行比较后发现，应在这些高危群体中考虑加强结核病控制措施。
