This table describes the number of cases of tuberculosis (TB) disease, percentages, and incidence rates among U.S.-born persons by age group in the United States from 1993 to 2024.
Key Higlights
- Among U.S.-born persons in 2024, TB incidence rates were highest among children in the 0–4 age group at 1.3 per 100,000 persons, followed by persons in age group ≥65 (1.0), 45–64 (0.9), 25–44 (0.8), 15–24 (0.7), and 5–14 (0.3).
- Case counts in 2024 increased in all age groups except among adults 45–64 and 65 and older.
