Australia reports low tuberculosis (TB) incidence, with stable rates since 1991. Most TB cases in 1999 were among overseas-born individuals, while rates declined in the Australian-born population.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Australia maintains one of the world's lowest tuberculosis (TB) incidence rates.
  • The crude annual TB notification rate has been stable, between 5 and 6 per 100,000 population since 1991.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the epidemiology of tuberculosis notifications in Australia in 1999.
  • To identify trends and demographic patterns of TB cases within Australia.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of tuberculosis notification data from 1999.
  • Calculation of crude annual notification rates for new and relapsed TB cases per 100,000 population.

Main Results:

  • In 1999, 1,159 TB notifications were recorded, with 1,117 new and 42 relapsed cases.

  • The annual notification rate for new and relapsed TB was 5.9 and 0.2 per 100,000 population, respectively.
  • Overseas-born individuals constituted 83% of notified cases, with highest rates in those from high prevalence countries and Indigenous Australians.

    • Conclusions:

    • Tuberculosis notification rates in Australia are highest among overseas-born residents and Indigenous Australians.
    • The rate of tuberculosis in the non-indigenous, Australian-born population is decreasing.
