Notes: Includes cases among those who are also HIV positive.

Definitions: Tuberculosis: A bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The disease usually affects the lungs but can spread to other parts of the body in serious cases. An individual can become infected with TB when another person who has active TB coughs, sneezes, or spits. Not all people who become infected with TB will develop symptoms. Those who do not become ill are referred to as having latent TB and cannot spread the disease to others.

Smear Positive Case: The presence of TB bacteria in a patient's sputum (sample of mucus or phlegm from a patient's respiratory tract) when examined under the microscope.
