This article provides supplementary data for the surveillance report in this issue entitled: Tuberculosis in Canada - Summary 2015 ^{Footnote 1}

National case definitions for confirmed case of tuberculosis and new and re-treatment cases ^{Footnote 2}

Confirmed case

Laboratory confirmed case
Cases with Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex demonstrated on culture, specifically M. tuberculosis, M. africanum, M. canetti, M. caprae, M. microti, M. pinnipedii or M. bovis (excluding M. bovis BCG strain).
Clinically confirmed case
In the absence of culture proof, cases clinically compatible with active tuberculosis that have, for example:
1. chest x-ray changes compatible with active tuberculosis;
2. active nonrespiratory tuberculosis (meningeal, bone, kidney, peripheral lymph nodes etc.);
3. pathologic or post-mortem evidence of active tuberculosis;
4. favourable response to therapeutic trial of antituberculosis drugs.
New and re-treatment cases of tuberculosis
- New case
  No documented evidence or adequate history of previously active tuberculosis.
- Re-treatment case
  1. Documented evidence or adequate history of previously active TB which was declared cured or treatment completed by current standards, and
  2. At least 6 months have passed since the last day of previous treatment, and
  3. Diagnosed with a subsequent episode of TB which meets the active TB case definition.
  OR
  1. Documented evidence or adequate history of previously active TB which cannot be declared cured or treatment completed by current standards, and
  2. Inactive for 6 months or longer after the last day of previous treatment, and
  3. Diagnosed with a subsequent episode of TB which meets the active TB case definition.
