The 1918-1921 influenza pandemic killed an estimated 0.8% of the Arizona population in three closely spaced consecutive waves. The mortality impact of the fall 1918 wave in Arizona lies in the upper range of previous estimates reported for other US settings and Europe, with a telltale age distribution of deaths concentrated among young adults. We identified a significant rise in tuberculosis-related mortality during the pandemic, lending support to the hypothesis that tuberculosis was a risk factor for severe pandemic infection. Our findings add to our current understanding of the mortality impact of this pandemic in the US and globally.
