Tuberculosis in the United States: National Surveillance System
Highlights from 2003
 |
| Slide 1 (title slide): Tuberculosis in the United States:
National Surveillance System, Highlights from 2003. This slide
set was prepared by the Division of Tuberculosis Elimination, Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Health and Human
Services (DHHS). It provides trends for the past decade and highlights
from data collected through the national TB surveillance system for 2003.
Since 1953, through the cooperation of state and local health departments,
CDC has collected information on the numbers of newly reported cases of
TB disease in the United States. The data presented here were primarily
collected via the expanded TB case report introduced in 1993. Currently,
each individual TB case report (Report of Verified Case of Tuberculosis,
or RVCT) is submitted electronically via the Tuberculosis Information
Management System (TIMS). |
