Beginning in 1985, the long decline in TB cases was dramatically reversed; from 1985 through 1992 reported cases increased 20.1 percent nationally. Two characteristics of this resurgent epidemic are unique: its prevalence among immunocompromised HIV-infected people and the emergence of multidrug-resistant TB. Current epidemiological trends, demographics and treatment approaches are discussed, as well as the implications MDR-TB holds for dentistry.
从1985年开始，结核病病例数长期下降的趋势发生了急剧逆转；1985年至1992年期间，全国报告的病例数增加了20.1%。这场疫情死灰复燃有两个独特特征：在免疫功能低下的艾滋病毒感染者中的流行情况以及耐多药结核病的出现。本文讨论了当前的流行病学趋势、人口统计学和治疗方法，以及耐多药结核病对牙科的影响。
