In 2006, 83% of all reported TB cases occurred in racial and
ethnic minorities (30% in Hispanics, 27% in non-Hispanic blacks or
African-Americans, 24% in Asians, 1% in American Indians or Alaska
Natives, and <1% in Native Hawaiians or Other Pacific Islanders),
whereas 17% of cases occurred in non-Hispanic whites. Persons
reporting two or more races totaled less than 1% of all cases. This

percentage of TB cases among all racial/ethnic groups.
