Tuberculosis, an ancient disease undergoing recent control by public hygiene and drug therapy, has experienced a recrudescence in the United States. Factors leading to the increased incidence of tuberculosis include the high incidence of tuberculosis among the AIDS population, an increase in Asian immigrants, and the emergence of drug-resistant strains of tuberculosis. Radiographically, the picture also has changed with a much higher incidence of primary tuberculosis in the adult population.
结核病是一种古老的疾病，近来通过公共卫生和药物治疗得到了控制，但在美国又再度流行。导致结核病发病率上升的因素包括艾滋病患者中结核病的高发病率、亚洲移民的增加以及耐药结核菌株的出现。在影像学上，情况也发生了变化，成人原发性结核病的发病率要高得多。
