Tuberculosis in the United States

New cases of tuberculosis (TB) in the United States have decreased steadily since the *****, mostly due to the discovery and use of antibiotics as an effective treatment for this contagious lung disease caused by bacteria. Other factors contributing to the decline include the ongoing work of local and national programs to detect, treat, and prevent TB disease and transmission, such as reporting and surveillance systems, as well as public health strategies. Unfortunately, TB continues to be one of the deadliest communicable diseases worldwide, as many developing countries still lack the health systems and resources needed to effectively reduce the TB burden.

Risk populations in the U.S.

Tuberculosis often adversely affects groups of people who have experienced health obstacles throughout history, often based on race or ethnicity. In the U.S., cases of TB continue to be disproportionately distributed among various ethnicities: in 2022, over one third of TB cases were among Asians and another third among the Hispanic population. Furthermore, in 2022, higher rates of TB cases were reported among Native Hawaiians or Pacific Islanders and American or Alaskan Natives. Other at-risk populations include non-U.S. born persons of various races or ethnicities, as new TB cases are often found during immigrant medical examinations.

The Online Tuberculosis Information System (OTIS) on CDC WONDER contains information on verified tuberculosis (TB) cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by state health departments, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico since 1993. These data were extracted from the CDC national TB surveillance system. OTIS reports case counts, incidence rates, population counts, percentage of cases that completed therapy within 1 year of diagnosis, and percentage of cases tested for drug susceptibility. Data for 22 variables are included in the data set, including: age groups, race / ethnicity, sex, vital status, year reported, state, metropolitan area, several patient risk factors, directly observed therapy, disease verification criteria and multi-drug resistant TB. Each year these data are updated with an additional year of cases plus revisions to cases reported in previous years. OTIS is produced by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Public Health Service, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for HIV/AIDS, viral Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP).
