Reports on tuberculosis rates by state, as reported to the CDC's Division of Tuberculosis Elimination. This publication presents data for tuberculosis cases reported during 2000. It is similar to previous publications and contains six major sections. The first section presents trends in the overall TB case counts and case rates by selected demographic and clinical characteristics. In addition it presents data from 1953 to the present, present data collected since implementation of the expanded system in 1993, including drug resistance and clinical outcomes. The second section presents overall case counts and rates by selected demographic characteristics for 2000. In the third section, TB case counts and case rates are presented by state with tables of selected demographic and clinical characteristics. In the fourth section, data collected as part of the expanded system (e.g., initial drug resistance, HIV status) are presented by reporting area. The fifth section provides TB case counts and case rates by metropolitan statistical areas withtables of selected demographic and clinical characteristics. Finally, the sixth section, presents figures from the annual surveillance slide set, which emphasize key recent trends in TB epidemiology in the United States.
