After nearly three decades of consistent decline in Tuberculosis (TB) cases in the United States, the case count began increasing in 2021.
TB is a disease caused by germs that are spread from person to person through the air and usually affects the lungs, potentially impacting anyone.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 10,347 TB cases were provisionally reported by 34 states and the District of Columbia in 2024, corresponding to a rate of 3.0 cases per 100,000 population.
