In collaboration with all state health departments, CDC conducts public health surveillance for tuberculosis (TB). This report summarizes data from the national TB surveillance system for 2000 and compares them with data from 1992-1999. During 2000, a total of 16,377 cases (5.8 cases per 100,000 population) of TB were reported to CDC from the 50 states and the District of Columbia (DC), representing a 7% decrease from 1999 and a 39% decrease from 1992, when the number of cases and case rate most recently peaked in the United States. However, the case rate among foreign-born persons remains at least seven times higher than among U.S.-born persons. To address the high rate, CDC is collaborating with public health partners to implement TB control initiatives among recent international arrivals and residents along the border between the United States and Mexico and to strengthen TB programs in countries with a high incidence of TB disease.
美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）与各州卫生部门合作，开展结核病（TB）公共卫生监测。本报告总结了2000年国家结核病监测系统的数据，并将其与1992 - 1999年的数据进行比较。2000年期间，美国50个州和哥伦比亚特区（DC）共向CDC报告了16377例结核病病例（每10万人中有5.8例），较1999年下降了7%，较1992年下降了39%，1992年美国的病例数和发病率最近达到峰值。然而，外国出生者的发病率仍至少是美国本土出生者的七倍。为解决这一高发病率问题，CDC正与公共卫生合作伙伴合作，在美国与墨西哥边境的新抵达国际人员和居民中实施结核病控制举措，并加强结核病高发国家的结核病防治项目。
