From 1985 through 1993, the state of California reported 29% of all cases of tuberculosis in children in the United States, ranking them first among the 50 states and the District of Columbia.1 During this period, tuberculosis cases in children and adolescents younger than 20 years old reported by the County of San Diego, California increased by 400% from 15 cases in 1985 to 75 cases in 1993. Reported cases were reviewed to provide possible explanations for this increase to better describe the epidemiology of tuberculosis among children and adolescents younger than 20 years old and to identify missed opportunities for prevention of tuberculosis in children.A 400% increase in San Diego??? Odd. No idea what might be causing that. No doubt it has something to do with global warming...
