Slide 1 (title slide). Tuberculosis in the United States—National Tuberculosis Surveillance System, Highlights from 2010. 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 recent past and highlights data collected through the National Tuberculosis Surveillance System for 2010.  Since 1953, through the cooperation of state and local health departments, CDC has collected information on newly reported cases of tuberculosis (TB) disease in the United States.  The data presented here were collected via the revised TB case report introduced in 2009.  Currently, each individual TB case report (Report of Verified Case of Tuberculosis or RVCT) is submitted electronically to CDC.  The data for this slide set are based on updates received by CDC as of July 21, 2010. All case counts and rates for years 1993–2009 have been updated.
