{"product_id":"2940013815735","title":"Reported Tuberculosis in the United States, 2008","description":"Reports of verified cases of tuberculosis (RVCT) are submitted to the Division of Tuberculosis Elimination (DTBE), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), by 60 reporting areas (the 50 states, the District of Columbia, New York City, Puerto Rico, and seven other jurisdictions in the Pacific and Caribbean). In January 1993, an expanded system was developed to collect additional information for each reported TB case in order to better monitor trends in TB and TB control. A software package (SURVS-TB) for data entry, analysis, and transmission of case reports to CDC was designed and implemented as part of the expanded TB surveillance system. In 1998, the Tuberculosis Information Management System (TIMS) replaced SURVS-TB.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis publication, Reported Tuberculosis in the United States, 2008, presents the summary data for TB cases reported to CDC, verified, and counted for 2008.
