TL;DR: Although inward migration has contributed to the overall tuberculosis incidence, the findings suggest that most patients born in high-incidence countries reactivate latent infection acquired abroad and are not involved in local onward transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tuberculosis in migrants moving from high-incidence to low-incidence countries: a population-based cohort study of 519 955 migrants screened before entry to England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

TL;DR: Migrants from countries with a high incidence of tuberculosis screened before being granted entry to low-incidence countries pose a negligible risk of onward transmission but are at increased risk of tuberculosis, which could potentially be prevented through identification and treatment of latent infection in close collaboration with a pre-entry screening programme.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulmonary Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare is the main driver of the rise in non-tuberculous mycobacteria incidence in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, 2007-2012.

TL;DR: The incidence of non-tuberculous mycobacteria isolation in EW&NI between 2007 and 2012 is reported, finding that the incidence has continued to rise since the last national analysis, which represents an almost ten-fold increase since 1995.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The associations with body-mass index seem to be statistically robust and provide a mechanism downstream of the HMGCoA-reductase eff ect (increased body- mass index leading to increased insulin resistance, and to increased diabetes), but there are some limitations to the study.
