The forecasted number of new extrapulmonary tuberculosis cases in Japan displays a declining trend from 2024 through 2028. Starting at 2.56 thousand cases in 2024, the cases decrease annually, reaching 2.01 thousand by 2028. The year-on-year percentage variation suggests a consistent reduction in the number of cases, reflecting a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over these years. This indicates a strong public health intervention impact and improved healthcare access.

Future trends to watch for:

Strengthening public health infrastructure to sustain downward trends.
Monitoring potential emergence of drug-resistant TB strains affecting projections.
Evaluating socio-economic factors that might influence TB case numbers.
