本报告描述了新南威尔士州土著社区结核病的持续传播情况。从2000年10月至2012年7月，在土著人中诊断出30例结核病相关病例- 22例在新南威尔士州北海岸地区，另外3例在悉尼，5例在昆士兰州南部。可能有一系列因素促成了这种持续传播，包括延误诊断、受影响社区内广泛的社会联系以及许多受影响者的高度移动的生活安排。尽管按照国家和国际议定书实施了结核病控制措施，但病例继续出现。结核病控制工作人员正在与土著社区合作，以确定和执行适当的结核病控制战略。
This report describes the ongoing transmission of tuberculosis in Aboriginal communities in NSW. From October 2000 to July 2012 there were 30 linked cases of tuberculosis diagnosed in Aboriginal people - 22 in the North Coast area of NSW, with a further three cases in Sydney and five in southern Queensland. It is likely that a range of factors have contributed to this ongoing transmission, including delayed diagnosis, the extensive social connections within the communities affected, and the highly mobile living arrangements of many of those affected. Cases have continued to emerge despite implementation of tuberculosis control measures in line with state and international protocols. Tuberculosis control staff are working in partnership with Aboriginal communities to identify and implement appropriate tuberculosis control strategies.
