Compared with the rest of the world, the situation regarding tuberculosis is favourable in the Nordic countries. In 1993, the incidence for persons born in respective country (per 100,000 of the population) was 4.1 in Denmark, 3.2 in Iceland and Sweden, 3.8 in Norway and 10.0 in Finland. The respective average figures for foreign-born residents were 6-14 times higher. Programmes for contending with tuberculosis have been uniform in the Nordic countries, with the exception of BCG (bacillus Calmette-Guérin) vaccination policy, though childhood tuberculosis is rare in the area. However, tuberculosis represents a manifest problem among the foreign-born population, first and foremost among the increasing number of refugees.
与世界其他地区相比，北欧国家的结核病情况较为乐观。1993年，各国出生人口的发病率（每10万人口）分别为：丹麦4.1，冰岛和瑞典3.2，挪威3.8，芬兰10.0。外国出生居民的相应平均数字则高出6至14倍。北欧国家应对结核病的方案是统一的，卡介苗接种政策除外，不过该地区儿童结核病较为罕见。然而，结核病在外国出生人口中是一个明显的问题，尤其是在日益增多的难民当中。
