[1] presented the results of a global estimate of the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) in adolescents and young adults. Owing to the incomplete age disaggregation and underestimated reports, the authors used case detection rates and age structure of the population in different countries to infer the total number of adolescents and young adults who developed TB in 2012. The results showed that young people had a considerable burden of TB, accounting for 17% of all new TB cases. However, the accuracy of the study is probably limited owing to the uncertainty of some key parameters.The incidence of tuberculosis in adolescents and young adults in Taiwan has a faster declining trend than that in the elderly population after implementation of the directly observed treatment short-course programme and active contact investigation http://ow.ly/X8hN30ok9PJ ER -
