In 2023, Germany's extrapulmonary tuberculosis cases were recorded at 1.13 thousand. The forecast for 2024 anticipates a slight decrease to 1.11 thousand, continuing a downward trend through 2028, reaching 1.04 thousand. The average annual rate of decline (CAGR) over this five-year period is approximately 1.6%. The year-on-year analysis highlights a consistent, albeit gradual, decrease in case numbers, illustrating a positive trend toward managing and reducing extrapulmonary tuberculosis in the region.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts of public health policies, vaccine developments, and improved diagnostic methods, all of which could further accelerate the reduction of cases. Vigilant monitoring of resistance to treatments and immigrant health will also play crucial roles in shaping future developments.
