“…Much of the information was obtained from previously published literature regarding England and Wales (Blower et al, 1995), New York (United States) (Drolet & Lowell, 1952), Japan (Johnston, 1995), Brazil (Antunes & Waldman, 1999) and Sierra Leone (World Health Organization, 2012). Data from publications regarding mortality for TB in England and Wales, as well as New York (United States), were collected and entered into Microsoft Excel for direct comparison with the Swiss data collected in this study (from Canton Zü rich as well as the whole of Switzerland).…”

“…The decline since then was slow and unsteady, but brought the mortality to less than 100 per 100,000 population by the mid-1940s, just prior to the introduction of pharmacotherapies. When medication was introduced, the mortality rate declined substantially at a rapid rate until it reached a level low enough to eliminate TB as a major cause of mortality in Brazil (Antunes & Waldman, 1999). As in the case of Japan, it is impossible to separate effects of non-pharmacological measures.…”

Summary This study investigated the trends in tuberculosis mortality through time in Switzerland. Information on the decline in mortality before chemotherapies were introduced may be useful in developing countries where drug-resistant tuberculosis is now becoming a major problem. Swiss data were collected from historical records and comparative data were obtained from the literature for England and Wales,

“…11 Tuberculosis (TB) mortality showed an ascending trend in many countries since the onset of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980's. 1,2,17 This increase was also due, among other factors, to modifications in control and assistance programs, and to population growth. 3 However, despite the increase registered, the importance of TB to population-wide mortality is not completely reflected by statistics presented according to underlying cause of death.…”

ObjectivesThe goal of this paper is to investigate mortality related to tuberculosis in the state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil, according to multiple causes of death and their interrelation with other underlying causes. MethodsThe study investigated deaths related to tuberculosis that occurred in the state of São Paulo in 1998. ResultsTB was the underlying cause of 1,644 deaths, a 4.6/100,000 population mortality rate. Main associated causes were respiratory failure (46,9%), pneumonias (16.5%), other specified symptoms and signs involving circulatory and respiratory systems (13.9%), cachexia (12.9%), diseases of the circulatory system (10.3%), conditions due to alcohol use (8.4%), septicemias (7.2%) and malnutrition (7.1%). Tuberculosis occurred as an associated cause in another 1,388 deaths. The mortality rate including TB as a both underlying and associated cause was 8.9/100,000 population, practically twice the classical rate. Deaths whose associated cause was reported as being TB had as underlying causes: AIDS (65.3%), diseases of the circulatory system (8.9%), neoplasms (7.5%), and diseases of the digestive system (4.8%). Clinical forms of nervous system and miliary TB were more frequent as a cause associated with AIDS than with other underlying causes (p<0,001). ConclusionsTotal reports of TB-related death practically doubled its mortality rate as an underlying cause. The increase in TB mortality was demonstrated to be influenced by the AIDS epidemic.
