Facts About Tuberculosis in Maryland and U S
The Maryland Tuberculosis Association leads the state Christmas Seal drive with 1500 associations and 1200 committees linked to the National Tuberculosis Association. Maryland’s tuberculosis death rate fell from 204.1 to 78.6 per 100000 since the campaign began, while TB ranks seventh in causes of death and hits ages 15 to 45 hardest. Last year 1384 Marylanders died of TB, with an estimated nine active cases per death. Nationally, mortality would be about 250000 if early 1990s rates persisted, but under current mortality around 70000 die annually. TB is preventable and curable and could be wiped out. about 4000 US children under 15 die yearly from TB, and over 500000 active US cases exist.
