But the increase the following year is likely driven by people who had symptoms in 2020 but weren't diagnosed until 2021, the CDC researchers said.In 2021, a total of 7,860 cases were reported to the CDC, 687 more than the 7,173 cases reported in 2020.Diagnoses in 2021 remained roughly 13% lower than in years prior to the pandemic.The continued, substantial reduction from pre-pandemic levels "raises concern for ongoing underdiagnosis," the CDC researchers said.
"Timely evaluation and treatment of TB and latent tuberculosis infection remain critical to achieving U.S. TB elimination," they added.
