Excerpt
Earlier this year I shared the following preliminary news: a total of 17,528 TB cases were reported from the 50 states and the District of Columbia in 1999, a decrease of 5% from 1998 and 34% from 1992, the height of the TB resurgence in the United States. The 1999 rate was 6.4 per 100,000 population, the lowest recorded since national surveillance for TB began in 1953. Keep up the great work!
