Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Infectious Diseases

Context:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) incidence in Israel showed a declining trend for four decades.
  • Recent immigration from high-prevalence countries has led to an observed increase in TB cases.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the clinical features and ethnic distribution of tuberculosis cases in Israel between 1968-1977.
  • To understand the factors contributing to the recent rise in TB incidence.

Summary:

  • The study reviewed 60 tuberculosis cases from 1968-1977, predominantly in Jewish and Bedouin individuals.
  • Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (62%) was more common than pulmonary TB (38%).
  • Delayed diagnosis was noted, attributed to the perception of TB as rare in Israel.

Impact:
