In 2023, the number of confirmed RR-/MDR-TB cases in the US was stable compared to previous years. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent downward trend with a decline in cases from 95 in 2024 to 86 in 2028. This represents an average decrease of around 2% year-on-year over the five-year period, indicating effective strategies in combating RR-/MDR-TB.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Advancements in medical technology and drug treatments which may further reduce case numbers.
- Effective public health policies and increased awareness that could sustain the declining trend.
- Monitoring the emergence of any new resistant strains that could impact these forecasts.
