The number of new bacteriologically confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis cases in Brazil witnessed a steady increase, growing from approximately 55.89 thousand cases in 2024 to an expected 60.21 thousand cases by 2028. Year-on-year growth rates show an approximate increase of 2.13% in 2025, 1.94% in 2026, 1.79% in 2027, and 1.65% by 2028.

Future trends to watch for:

Implementation of improved diagnostic tools and targeted treatment plans that could potentially alter the growth trajectory of tuberculosis cases.
