Data requested for new cases: smear-positive, smear-negative and extra-pulmonary TB, 0–14 years as well as disaggregated (0–4 and 5–14 years).

Calculated using childhood TB data provided to the survey rather than WHO data.

Ecuador: No childhood TB data provided in the survey; data used from WHO 2010 database.

TB = tuberculosis; WHO = World Health Organization; HBC = high-burden country; LIC = low-income country; LMIC = lower middle-income country; UMIC = upper middle-income country; HIC = high-income country.
