Oregon Tuberculosis Data

Incidence of TB disease in Oregon generally has been declining over the past decade.

In 2011, 74 cases of TB were verified in Oregon, for a rate of 1.9 cases per 100,000 residents. This is a decrease from 2010, when 87 TB cases were reported. The national TB disease rate is usually higher than Oregon’s rate; in 2011 the national rate was 3.4 cases per 100,000 residents.

Oregon TB disease incidence remains higher in foreign-born than US-born residents. In 2011, 72% of TB cases were among foreign-born residents.

In 2011, 8.5% of isolates tested were resistant to INH (a primary first-line TB drug). One case of multi-drug resistant TB (MDR TB, or TB that is resistant to at least both INH and rifampin) was reported in Oregon in 2011.
