Abstract:
Between 1992 and 1995, there was a 14.5 percent decline in the number of TB cases reported annually in the United States and a 10.3 percent decline in Pennsylvania. The CDC credits improved laboratory methods to allow prompt identification of M. tuberculosis and the broader use of drug-susceptibility testing among the factors responsible for the decline.
