From 1975 to 1985, 25 Danish children (aged less than 15 yrs) and 40 children of immigrants were notified for tuberculosis in Copenhagen for the first time. A follow-up was undertaken in 1987. The annual rate of tuberculosis per 100,000 among the Danish children was 5 and among immigrant children 68-200 depending on the nationality. At the time of diagnosis, no significant differences were present between Danes and immigrants as regards age, sex, occurrence of symptoms or previous BCG immunization, whereas there were significantly more bacteriologically proven cases among the immigrants. All Danish children had respiratory tuberculosis only, whereas 13 immigrant children had extrapulmonary manifestations including one case of miliary and two cases of meningeal tuberculosis. At follow-up, all patients were cured for tuberculosis and had experienced a normal physical development.
1975年至1985年期间，哥本哈根首次通报了25名丹麦儿童（年龄小于15岁）和40名移民儿童患结核病的情况。1987年进行了随访。丹麦儿童中每10万人的结核病年发病率为5例，而移民儿童的发病率为68 - 200例，具体取决于国籍。在诊断时，丹麦人和移民在年龄、性别、症状出现情况或以前的卡介苗接种方面没有显著差异，而移民中经细菌学证实的病例明显更多。所有丹麦儿童仅患呼吸道结核病，而13名移民儿童有肺外表现，包括1例粟粒性结核病和2例结核性脑膜炎。随访时，所有患者的结核病均已治愈，身体发育正常。
