Filed by Elyse Russo on Jul 14, 2008 12:01 AM

But the proportion of cases among foreign-born Chicagoans is growing.

Of all TB cases reported in 2007, 51.4 percent occurred among foreign-born Chicago residents, compared with 45.2 percent a year earlier. Last year, there were 20.8 cases of TB per 100,000 foreign-born residents compared with a 2006 figure of 21.1 cases per 100,000.
