Slide 17. Countries of Birth of Foreign-born
Persons Reported with TB, United States, 2006. This slide
shows the overall distribution of the countries of birth of
foreign-born persons reported with TB in 2006, with the top seven
highlighted. The list of countries has remained relatively constant
since 1986, when information on country of birth was first reported
by all areas submitting reports to CDC. However, for 2006, Guatemala
replaced South Korea in the list of countries contributing the
highest percentages of foreign-born patients. The seven top
countries accounted for 62% of the total, with Mexico accounting for
25%; the Philippines, 11%; Viet Nam, 8%; India, 7%; China, 5%;
Haiti, 3%; and Guatemala, 3%. Persons from more than 135 other
countries each accounted for 2% or less of the total, but altogether
accounted for 38% of foreign-born persons reported with TB. Back to 2006 Surveillance Slides Main Page
