世界卫生组织（卫生组织）估计，从1990年到1999年，人类结核病的发病率和死亡人数将分别为8800万和3000万，其中大多数病例发生在发展中国家。人畜共患结核病（由牛分枝杆菌引起）存在于大多数发展中国家的动物中，这些国家的监测和控制活动往往不足或不可用;因此，感染的许多流行病学和公共卫生方面仍然基本未知。我们回顾了发展中国家关于人畜共患结核病的现有信息，分析了可能在该病中发挥作用的风险因素，回顾了世卫组织最近的活动，并建议采取行动，以评估问题的严重性并控制人类和动物的疾病。
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that human tuberculosis (TB) incidence and deaths for 1990 to 1999 will be 88 million and 30 million, respectively, with most cases in developing countries. Zoonotic TB (caused by Mycobacterium bovis) is present in animals in most developing countries where surveillance and control activities are often inadequate or unavailable; therefore, many epidemiologic and public health aspects of infection remain largely unknown. We review available information on zoonotic TB in developing countries, analyze risk factors that may play a role in the disease, review recent WHO activities, and recommend actions to assess the magnitude of the problem and control the disease in humans and animals.
