Epidemiologic data on 100 patients with bone and joint tuberculosis reported in Denmark from 1980 to 1984 are presented. The annual incidence of skeletal tuberculosis remained unchanged during the period, although most other forms of tuberculosis showed a decreasing trend. Eighteen per cent of all the cases of bone and joint tuberculosis were found among young first generation immigrants, notably from Asia. In the native Danish population, bone and joint tuberculosis was almost exclusively found among the elderly. The lesions were most common in the spine and hip. Thirty per cent of the patients had a previous history of pulmonary tuberculosis.
本文呈现了1980年至1984年丹麦报告的100例骨与关节结核患者的流行病学数据。在此期间，骨结核的年发病率保持不变，尽管大多数其他形式的结核病呈下降趋势。在所有骨与关节结核病例中，18%发生在年轻的第一代移民中，尤其是来自亚洲的移民。在丹麦本土人口中，骨与关节结核几乎只发生在老年人中。病变最常见于脊柱和髋部。30%的患者有肺结核病史。
