Since the 1992 TB resurgence peak in the United States, the number of TB cases reported annually has decreased by 65 percent. In 2014, the reported number of US TB cases was 9,421, with a case rate of 3.0 cases per 100,000 population (30 per million population). Following a major investment in TB control activities at all levels of government, TB cases began to decline again. The resurgence was associated with the emergence of the HIV epidemic, increased immigration from countries with high TB rates, and a deterioration of TB control programs in many jurisdictions. From that point TB cases steadily declined until the 1980s and early 1990s when a TB resurgence occurred with over 25,000 TB cases being reported per year. In the early 20 th century, TB was the leading cause of death in the United States. The Tuberculosis laboratory is already in Atlanta at Lawson General Hospital, having moved there several years earlier. In 1960, the Tuberculosis Program transfers from the US Public Health Service to CDC.
