Genitourinary tuberculosis is the only non-respiratory form of the disease which occurs more often in the white ethnic group than in the Indian Subcontinent (ISC) ethnic group as shown by national tuberculosis surveys of England and Wales. Analysis of non-respiratory tuberculosis in a district where 70% of the notified cases were of ISC ethnic origin, showed that the ethnic distribution of genitourinary tuberculosis was different from all other forms of non-respiratory tuberculosis, in that > 80% cases were of white ethnic origin, whereas for all other sites 70% or greater were of ISC ethnic origin. Factors which may account for this difference are discussed.
根据英格兰和威尔士的全国结核病调查显示，泌尿生殖系统结核是该疾病唯一的非呼吸道形式，在白种人群体中比在印度次大陆（ISC）族群中更常见。对一个地区的非呼吸道结核病进行分析，该地区70%的报告病例为ISC族裔，结果显示泌尿生殖系统结核的种族分布与所有其他形式的非呼吸道结核病不同，即超过80%的病例为白种人，而在所有其他部位，70%或更多病例为ISC族裔。文中讨论了可能导致这种差异的因素。
