TB Surveillance Center, RIT, JATA
Monthly Report of Tuberculosis Surveillance, Japan – January, 2016
The reporting and recording of tuberculosis (TB) and Latent TB Infection (LTBI) are managed at public
health centers (PHCs) by the nationwide computerized TB surveillance system in Japan. A monthly report is
compiled from the database automatically and regularly on 4th Friday of the next month, and an annual
report is also produced much like the monthly report, but with sufficient time for data correction.
Tables and figures shown in the monthly reports are as follows.
