Tuberculosis

The ultimate goal for the Division of Tuberculosis (TB) Control is the elimination of tuberculosis in Alabama. Until that goal is reached, the Division strives to reduce the annual burden of disease, limit transmission, and prevent future cases by providing diagnostic, treatment, and case management services. The Division of TB Control provides these services to all persons in Alabama, regardless of the ability to pay. This commitment to Alabama's citizens has contributed to historic declines in TB morbidity and mortality.
