title: Tuberculosis in children and adolescents, Taiwan, 1996-2003.
abstract: Analysis of data from Taiwan's National Tuberculosis (TB) Registry showed that incidence of TB in persons <20 years of age was 9.61/100,000 person-years, biphasic, and age-relevant, with a major peak in persons slightly >12 years. Aboriginal children were 8.1-17.4x more likely to have TB than non-Aboriginal children.
