Although pulmonary TB is declining in incidence, it continues to cause significant morbidity and mortality. The modern 6-month short-course chemotherapy regimens are virtually 100% curative if given and taken correctly. Other forms of intrathoracic TB, namely pleural effusion and particularly mediastinal lymphadenopathy, occur more frequently in ethnic minority groups and mainly in that from the Indian subcontinent.
尽管肺结核的发病率在下降，但它仍会导致严重的发病和死亡。如果正确给予并服用，现代6个月短程化疗方案几乎100%可治愈。其他形式的胸内结核，即胸腔积液，尤其是纵隔淋巴结肿大，在少数民族群体中更常见，主要是来自印度次大陆的群体。
