TB May Be Increasing in Wisconsin Says 1964 Strip
The Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis Association reports warning signs that tuberculosis may become a growing community menace. Advanced disease among new TB cases rose to 68 percent in 1964 from 66 and 60 percent in 1963 and 1962, while TB deaths leveled off at 98 each year. New cases fell from 782 in 1963 to 647 in 1964, and hospitalizations declined 10.5 percent, a smaller drop than the prior year, possibly masking a real decline or reflecting reduced case finding due to belief TB is under control.
