The number of new and relapse tuberculosis cases in the US is on a declining trend. In 2023, there were approximately 7.40 thousand cases. From the forecasted data, the number of cases is expected to decrease year-on-year by around 5% annually, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -5.5% from 2024 to 2028. This consistent decline suggests ongoing advancements in public health measures and effective tuberculosis management and treatment strategies.
Future trends to watch for:
