1Per 100,000 population.
2The large decrease in 1979 occurred because late effects of tuberculosis
(e.g., bronchiectasis or fibrosis) and pleurisy with effusion (without mention
of cause) are no longer included in tuberculosis deaths.
3 Preliminary data obtained from National Center for Health Statistics
(NCHS) National Vital Statistics Report, Vol. 49, No.12, October 9, 2001.
Ellipses indicate data not available.
Note: Official tuberculosis mortality statistics are compiled by the
National Center for Health Statistics, CDC. Case data after 1974 are not comparable
to prior years due to changes in the surveillance case definitions which became
effective in 1975.
