2 & 3 letter ISO country codes

Counts of new TB cases recorded by group. Column names encode three variables that describe the group (see details).
The data uses the original codes given by the World Health
Organization. The column names for columns five through 60 are made by
combining new_ to a code for method of diagnosis (rel =
relapse, sn = negative pulmonary smear, sp = positive
pulmonary smear, ep = extrapulmonary) to a code for gender
(f = female, m = male) to a code for age group (014 =
0-14 yrs of age, 1524 = 15-24 years of age, 2534 = 25 to
34 years of age, 3544 = 35 to 44 years of age, 4554 = 45 to
54 years of age, 5564 = 55 to 64 years of age, 65 = 65 years
of age or older).
