About
This table describes the number of cases of tuberculosis (TB) disease, percentages, and incidence rates among non-U.S.–born persons by age group in the United States from 1993 to 2024.
Key Highlights
- Among non-U.S.–born persons in 2024, TB incidence rates were highest among persons in age group ≥65 (22.8 per 100,000 persons), followed by persons in age group 15–24 (20.3), 25–44 (16.2), 45–64 (11.7), 0–4 (8.0), and 5–14 (6.0).
- In 2024, case counts among non-U.S.–born persons increased in all age groups compared with 2023 except among adults 65 years and older.
