81 cases of @entity378 (64), seen between 1977 and 1995 at St G  ran's @entity1 's hospital, Stockholm, Sweden are reviewed. The incidence of @entity378 increased from 1 to 6/10(5) @entity1 /y. The increase was due to immigration from high-prevalence countries, with an incidence of 20/10(5) in a partly segregated suburb. Most of the @entity1 were foreign-born. Of the 31 0-4-y-old cases, 19 were born in Sweden, and 7 had received BCG vaccination. For Swedish-born @entity1 with Swedish-born parents, the incidence of @entity378 remained stable at < 0.5. 50 @entity1 were symptomatic when first seen (60% @entity1907 , 8% military @entity378 , 25%, cervical @entity3298 , 15% other @entity378 ). There was 1 death, and in 2 @entity1 complicated @entity378 courses. Side effects of drug therapy were seen in 5% of the @entity1 . In conclusion, @entity378 remains an important differential diagnosis in @entity1 of immigrants from high-prevalence countries for at least 5 y after settlement in Sweden. The practice of delaying BCG vaccination of them until 6 months of age can be disputed.
