TB in the United States (2/6)
Although the number of people with TB disease in the United States has been declining over the past several years, there remain several areas of ongoing concern:
- TB is reported in almost every state
- In 2020, slightly more than half (50.3%) of TB cases continue to be reported from 4 states: California (23.8%), Texas (12.3%), New York state (8.4%), and Florida (5.7%)
- Progression from untreated LTBI to TB disease is estimated to account for approximately 80% of U.S. TB cases
- Drug-resistant TB is challenging to treat
- Management of patients with comorbidities, such as HIV, diabetes, and other immunocompromising conditions, is difficult
