Back-to-back to make a comeback?
April 4th, 2010
This used to be a long article about back to backs and tuberculosis. I shortened it because most of the TB in the UK arrives from other countries.
While it’s true that Victorian housing conditions and lack of ventilation exacerbated health problems, in the UK in the C21st the vast majority of tuberculosis is brought in from outside the country by people from developing countries.
“These individuals account for nearly three-quarters of all tuberculosis notifications in the UK with an incidence that is 20 times higher than in UK-born individuals”
