1Includes the number of risk factors reported (which may be more than one per case) and the number of cases with no information on additional risk factors. The sum of risk factors is greater than the total number of cases because more than one risk factor may be selected per case.
2Excludes TB risk factor information for 29 cases with unknown origin.
3Includes risk factor responses of MDR patient contact, missed contact, and infectious TB patient contact.
4Includes risk factor responses of end-stage renal disease and non-HIV immunosuppression.
5Includes risk factor responses of incomplete LTBI therapy and Other.
6Persons of Hispanic/Latino origin may be of any or multiple race.
7Indicated two or more races reported for a person, and does not include persons of Hispanic/Latino origin.

Note: Case counts for race categories (American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Black/African American, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander, and White) are mutually exclusive and do not include persons of Hispanic ethnicity or multiple race.

Ellipses (…) indicate that the percentage cannot be calculated, and the denominator is 0.
