| Abstract | The overall incidence of tuberculosis in Hong Kong is falling but age specific notification rate for patients aged 65 years and above has not decreased as rapidly as the younger age groups (1990 versus 1980). Also, an absolute increase in new cases in the older group is seen while a decrease occurs in the younger group. The aim of the present study is to compare the features of tuberculosis between the younger (aged below 65 years) and older(aged 65 years or above) patients. |
