AB Florida ranked fourth in the nation with 1,707 tuberculosis cases
reported in 1992 for a rate of 12.7 per 100,000 population. Thirteen
percent of these patients had AIDS. Recent cases in prisons, shelters,
hospitals and schools have stimulated interest and media coverage.
Resurgence of strains of multiple-drug resistant tuberculosis is a
serious concern. The Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative
Services, in collaboration with allied agencies, has utilized several
initiatives in response. The most significant, Tuberculosis Epidemic
Containment Plan, details intervention strategies needed to eliminate TB
in the state by the year 2010. Successful implementation depends upon
local TB prevention and control coalitions that include private and
public sector providers.
