The incidence of tuberculosis (TB) among Israeli-born children was studied. The incidence rates for Jews and non-Jews were compared at various ages and in different years. Non-Jews had higher rates of TB than had Jews at all ages. The difference between the two groups was largest at age 5 to 9 years (rate ratio, non-Jews to Jews, 4.0). Among Jews, the highest rates of TB were found in the youngest age-group, while among the non-Jews rates continued to be high until the age of 14. The annual incidence of TB showed a general decline for all age-groups among the Jews, while among the non-Jews only children aged 0 to 4 demonstrated a similar trend. The largest reductions in the incidence of TB occurred in children of this age in both groups. During the last years of the study, the annual incidence of TB among Israeli-born persons reached particularly low levels, with only 14 new cases being diagnosed during 1979, 5 among Jews and 9 among non-Jews. The respective incidence rates were 0.3 and 2.6 per 100,000 population.
对以色列出生儿童中的结核病（TB）发病率进行了研究。比较了不同年龄和不同年份犹太人和非犹太人的发病率。非犹太人在各年龄段的结核病发病率均高于犹太人。两组之间的差异在5至9岁时最大（非犹太人与犹太人的发病率比为4.0）。在犹太人中，结核病发病率最高的是最年幼的年龄组，而在非犹太人中，发病率一直很高，直到14岁。犹太人所有年龄组的结核病年发病率总体呈下降趋势，而非犹太人中只有0至4岁的儿童呈现类似趋势。两组中该年龄段儿童的结核病发病率下降幅度最大。在研究的最后几年，以色列出生人群中的结核病年发病率降至特别低的水平，1979年仅诊断出14例新病例，其中犹太人为5例，非犹太人为9例。相应的发病率分别为每10万人0.3例和2.6例。
