NOTE: These tables should be used only for race/ethnicity comparisons. See Table 35 for age-specific cases and rates and Tables 27-29 for total and sex-specific cases and rates.

Cases in the 0-4 and 5-9 age groups may include cases due to congenital transmission.

No population data exist for unknown sex, unknown age, or unknown race; therefore rates are not calculated.
