1Official tuberculosis mortality statistics were compiled by the National Center for Health Statistics, CDC; accessed July 10, 2023
2Percentage change in tuberculosis death rates is calculated with unrounded figures. Percentage change results reported to one decimal.
3The large decrease in death rate in 1979 occurred because late effects of tuberculosis (e.g., bronchiectasis or fibrosis) and pleurisy with effusion (without mention of cause) are no longer included in tuberculosis deaths.
4Case data after 1974 are not comparable to prior years due to changes in the surveillance case definition that became effective in 1975.
Note:
The 1993–2022 tuberculosis case counts and incidence rates were updated using the following sources:
1) For 1993–1999, Bridged-Race 1990–1999 Intercensal Population Estimates for July 1, 1990–July 1, 1999,
2) For 2000–2009, Intercensal Estimates of the Resident Population for the United States, Regions, States, and Puerto Rico: April 1, 2000 to July 1, 2010,
3) For 2010–2019, Annual Estimates of the Resident Population for the United States, Regions, States, and Puerto Rico: April 1, 2010 to July 1, 2020; accessed June 22, 2021, and
4) For 2020-2022, Annual Estimates of the Resident Population for the United States, Regions, States, District of Columbia and Puerto Rico: April 1, 2020 to July 1, 2022, accessed July 10, 2023.
Data for all years are updated through July 8, 2023.
