I said I wasn't . However you may think yourself one . Carter cut out NOTHING . You another one too lazy to look any thing up before you speak . Go check CDC records on Tuberculosis over the past 40 years .
The Changing Epidemiology of TB
Tuberculosis (TB), a disease caused by bacteria called mycobacterium tuberculosis, causes nearly 2 million deaths worldwide each year.1
Between 1985 and 1992, cases of TB in the United States increased by 20 percent. This period of resurgence of TB disease was fueled by:
◾The onset of the HIV epidemic
◾Increases in TB cases among foreign-born persons
◾Outbreaks in congregate settings (correctional facilities and homeless shelters)
◾Deterioration of the infrastructure for TB services
◾Development of difficult-to-treat cases of Multiple Drug Resistant (MDR) TB2
Today the trend has been reversed. TB cases reported to CDC for 2005 represented a 2.9% decrease from 2004 and a 47% decrease from 1992,3 when the number of cases and the case rate peaked during a resurgence in the United States. In 2005, the thirteenth consecutive year of decline, the TB case rate was 4.8 per 100,000.4 This reduction is attributed to more effective TB-control programs that emphasize prompt identification of persons with TB, prompt initiation of appropriate therapy, and efforts to ensure that therapy will be completed.
