To protect and improve the health of all, the California Tuberculosis Control Branch (TBCB) provides leadership and resources to prevent and control tuberculosis (TB). The vision of the Tuberculosis Control Branch is to speed the decline of TB morbidity and mortality.

The new 2008 Report on Tuberculosis in California has just been issued which breaks down case and case rate information by local health jurisdiction, and also provides data analysis across several classifications of affected populations.

To get information about H1N1 (swine flu), go to the Novel Influenza A (H1N1) Virus (Swine Flu) page, which is updated regularly.

CDPH offices will be closed three Fridays per month from January 2010 through June 2010 due to the Governor's furlough orders.
