A prolonged tuberculosis outbreak, linked by whole-genome sequencing, occurred in a Pasifika extended family over 10 years (2013-2022) in Sydney, Australia. Despite Australia's low tuberculosis incidence, social and cultural complexities, and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disruptions exacerbated transmission. Control required culturally sensitive, family-centered care and robust health system engagement.
通过全基因组测序发现，在澳大利亚悉尼的一个太平洋岛裔大家庭中，结核病疫情持续爆发长达10年（2013 - 2022年）。尽管澳大利亚结核病发病率较低，但社会和文化复杂性以及2019冠状病毒病（COVID - 19）造成的干扰加剧了传播。控制疫情需要具有文化敏感性、以家庭为中心的护理以及强大的卫生系统参与。
