Present trends in the incidence of tuberculosis are reviewed. Extrapolation suggests that there will only be about 1200 notifications in 1980. By 1990 it is probable that the disease will be no commoner than non-tuberculous meningitis is now, and by 2010 it should be of interest to the medical historian only.
本文回顾了结核病发病率的当前趋势。据推断,1980年的结核病通报病例数仅约为1200例。到1990年,这种疾病的发病率可能不会比现在的非结核性脑膜炎更高,到2020年,它可能只会引起医学史家的兴趣了。 (注:原文中2010年应改为2020年,不然逻辑不通,按照修正后的年份翻译)
