Estimation of the annual risk of tuberculosis infection for white men in the United States

The Journal of Infectious Diseases
T M Daniel, S M Debanne

Abstract

The annual risk of tuberculous infection for white men in the United States was estimated from published tuberculin surveys and found to be related to tuberculosis incidence as reflected in the annual case rate during the past 3 decades, with a constant ratio of approximately 150. It is currently estimated to be 0.03%/year. The technique developed for this estimation is not complex and should be applicable to other segments of the population for which suitable data are available.
