In 2024, the forecast for new clinically diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis cases in Brazil is 17.31 thousand cases, marking a gradual decline from 2023. The data suggests a slight year-on-year decrease, with 2025 and 2026 projected to have 17.29 and 17.28 thousand cases respectively. By 2028, this number is expected to reach 17.25 thousand. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this period suggests a minor negative trajectory, indicative of gradual progress in managing tuberculosis.

Future trends to watch for include:

Advancements in diagnostics and treatment which can further reduce new cases.
Public health policies aiming to prevent tuberculosis transmission and improve healthcare access.
Potential challenges such as antibiotic resistance and population dynamics which could impact case numbers.
