 AB    The article consists in an account of the numbers of reported cases of
       infectious diseases among approximately 10,000 refugees who came to the
       Stockholm area, primarily from the former Yugoslavia, Africa, Asia and
       Irak during the period 1992-1993. High prevalences were noted of
       hepatitis B and tuberculosis, and in certain groups high prevalences of
       HIV. Hitherto there has been no increase in the spread of infections to
       the general population. In the event of a wave of refugees from Russia
       and the Baltic countries, it is primarily diphtheria and tuberculosis
       that will entail vigilance.
