California and 39 other states reported an increase in TB, and rates were up among all age groups, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
NEW YORK — The number of U.S. tuberculosis cases in 2023 were the highest in a decade, according to a new government report.
CDC officials expected TB numbers would rise, but the 2023 count “was a little more than was expected,” said Dr. Philip LoBue, director of the agency’s Division of Tuberculosis Elimination. The new CDC statistics are not a count of how many people were newly infected in 2023, but rather of how many people developed a cough or other symptoms and were diagnosed.
CDC officials called the idea that COVID-19 has played a role in increased reactivation of TB “an important question.” Scientists are still learning what causes latent TB to reactivate and “I would consider it an unknown at this point,” LoBue said.Health |There are TB vaccines being developed, and public health workers that were focused on COVID are now back to trying new approaches to preventing TB.
