Tuberculosis gradually vanishing in United States
Federal health investigators say TB is gradually disappearing in the United States. About 15 million Americans may harbor dormant bacteria, but most carriers never develop active disease. The number of new TB cases declines as dormant carriers age out, with 3,000 deaths annually attributed, though many are from those who died of other causes. Cold facts on treatment and public education are needed to complete elimination.
