The National Mycobacterial Surveillance System (NMSS) report shows stable, low tuberculosis rates in Australia for 1995. However, higher rates persist in Indigenous and overseas-born populations, highlighting the need for continued surveillance.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Infectious Disease Surveillance

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health concern.
  • Effective surveillance systems are crucial for monitoring and controlling infectious diseases.
  • The National Mycobacterial Surveillance System (NMSS) in Australia collects data on TB notifications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on new and relapsed cases of tuberculosis notified in Australia in 1995.
  • To summarise cases of atypical mycobacterial infection.
  • To assess trends and identify high-risk populations for tuberculosis.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of data from the National Mycobacterial Surveillance System (NMSS).
  • Inclusion of new and relapsed cases of tuberculosis notified to State and Territory health authorities.

  • Summary of atypical mycobacterial infection notifications.

    • Main Results:

    • The notification rate for new tuberculosis cases was 5.47 per 100,000 population.
    • The notification rate for relapsed tuberculosis cases was 0.28 per 100,000 population.
    • Rates remained stable and low compared to international benchmarks, with higher incidence in Indigenous and overseas-born populations.

    Conclusions:

    • Tuberculosis notification rates in Australia are stable and low.
    • Specific population groups, including Indigenous Australians and overseas-born individuals, experience disproportionately higher rates of tuberculosis.
    • The NMSS plays a vital role in tuberculosis control efforts in Australia.
