In an epidemic of tuberculosis 41 new patients presented with the disease or were traced. The index patient was a part time barman in a public house. Four children in his family and four who lived in the same block of flats were infected. Only seven of the 41 patients had been vaccinated with BCG. This epidemic indicates that the schools vaccination programme should be continued and the public made aware that tuberculosis still exists.
在一场结核病疫情中,有41名新患者出现了该疾病症状或被追踪到。索引患者是一家酒吧的兼职酒保。他家中的4名儿童以及住在同一栋公寓楼的4人被感染。41名患者中只有7人接种过卡介苗。这场疫情表明,学校疫苗接种计划应继续进行,并让公众意识到结核病仍然存在。
