Notes :
1 - Calculated by dividing the new smear-positive cases of tuberculosis detected under DOTS, the internationally recommended tuberculosis control strategy, by the estimated annual incidence of new smear-positive cases. Values can exceed 100% because of intense case detection in an area with a backlog of chronic cases, overreporting (for example, double counting), overdiagnosis or underestimation of incidence (WHO (World Health Organization). 2007b. Global Tuberculosis Control: WHO Report 2007. Geneva.[http://www.who.int/tb/publications/global_report/2007/en/index.html]. Accessed July 2007.).
