Laws regarding tuberculosis
In the state of Missouri a case of active Tuberculosis must be reported within one day of diagnosing. Cases of Latent Tuberculosis do not need to be reported

Number of Cases reported each year
In 2008 there were 93 reported cases of active Tuberculosis. It is likely that there is about 3,000 cases of latent Tuberculosis every year but this is hard to determine because there is no pressing need to report cases of latent tuberculosis.
