Tuberculosis cases reported in the United States appear to be returning to levels seen before the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a new report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The US incidence of tuberculosis, or TB, increased slightly last year after a substantial 20.2% decline in 2020 and a 9.8% increase in 2021, according to the data published in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report on Thursday, just a day ahead of World Tuberculosis Day. “TB incidence increased during 2022, compared with that during 2020 and 2021,” CDC researchers wrote in the report. Now, the incidence “appears to be returning to prepandemic levels among U.S.-born and non-U.S.
Between 2014 and 2020, no tuberculosis cases had been reported within the Washington prison system. Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection, usually in the lungs, that can cause coughing, chest pain and fever – characterized by coughing up blood or mucus. Tuberculosis disease is curable, often treated with a standardized course of drugs that usually includes antibacterial medicines.
