Abstract

There has been limited detailed epidemiological data available on tuberculosis in the Republic of Ireland. The 1998 and 1999 National TB Reports produced by the National Disease Surveillance Centre presented disaggregate national data describing in detail the epidemiology of TB in the Republic of Ireland. Individual case notifications were collated by health boards, forwarded to NDSC where they were entered onto a national TB database and then analysed using Epi-Info. There were 893 cases of TB notified in 1998-1999. It was more common in older age groups and men. 50% of cases occurred in those less than 45 years, an indication of considerable ongoing transmission of tuberculosis. Regional variation in the rate of TB exists and a relatively small proportion of cases occurred in foreign-born patients. TB in HIV positive patients was not common and MDR-TB has also been observed. TB has not disappeared from the Republic of Ireland. Treatment, contact tracing and surveillance need to be maintained and preferably enhanced.
