Tuberculosis in the United States

National Surveillance System Highlights from 2000

Slide 1 (title slide): Tuberculosis in the United States: National Surveillance System, Highlights from 2000. Division of Tuberculosis Elimination, National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This slide set provides highlights from the data collected through the national TB surveillance system in 2000. Since 1953, through the cooperation of state and local health departments, CDC has collected information on the numbers of reported TB cases in the United States. The data presented here were primarily collected via the expanded TB case report introduced in 1993. Currently, individual TB case reports (Report of Verified Case of Tuberculosis, or RVCT) are submitted electronically via the Tuberculosis Information Management System (TIMS), a comprehensive CDC software system for TB surveillance, patient management, and program evaluation.
