Slide 2: Reported TB Cases, United States, 1981-2001.
The resurgence of TB in the mid- 1980s was marked by several years of
slightly increasing case counts followed by a substantial rise for several
years. The total number of TB cases peaked in 1992. From 1992 until 2001,
the total number of TB cases decreased 5%-7% annually, and 2001 marks
the ninth year of decline in the total number of TB cases reported in
the United States since the peak of the resurgence. In 2001, a total of
15,989 TB cases were reported from the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
This represents a 2% decrease from 2000 and a 40% decline from 1992. |
