Decline of tuberculosis notification rate in different populations and regions in Portugal, 2010–2017
2023, PulmonologyCitation Excerpt :The relative weight of other groups, such as children under five years of age and immigrants, increased despite the overall decline in incidence.1 In Portugal regional differences in risk of TB have been reported, with more densely populated regions such as Lisbon and Tagus Valley (LTV) and North regions being more affected.6-8 To analyse the differences in magnitude of decline and to better understand risk from surveillance data, further analysis of the available data is needed.
