Zusammenfassung:In 2010, a total of 11, 181 tuberculosis (TB) cases were reported in the US, for a rate of 3.6 cases per 100,000 population, which was a decline of 3.9% from 2009 and the lowest rate recorded since national reporting began in 1953. A CDC report report summarizes provisional 2010 data from the National TB Surveillance System and describes trends since 1993. Despite an average decline in TB rates of 3.8% per year during 2000-2008, a record decline of 11.4% in 2009, and the 2010 decline of 3.9%, the national goal of TB elimination by 2010 was not met. A CDC editorial note is included.
