TB Case Rates

United States, 2002

Slide 4: TB Case Rates, United States, 2002. This map shows TB rates for 2002. Twenty-four states had a rate of less than or equal to 3.5 TB cases per 100,000, the interim goal for the year 2000 established by the Advisory Council for the Elimination of Tuberculosis. This group of states has remained fairly constant over the last decade; five states (CT, MI, NM, OR, and PA) joined the group in 2000, one state (MO) joined the group in 2001 (also in 1998 for one year only), and one state (DE) joined the group in 2002. States with a rate above the national average include the seven states that reported at least 500 cases in 2002: CA, FL, GA, IL, NJ, NY, and TX. These seven states accounted for 60% of the national total and have experienced substantial overall decreases in cases and rates since 1992.
