Tuberculosis before and during COVID-19 Pandemic, United States, 2010-2023
Abstract:
After a steady decline in tuberculosis (TB) during 2010-2019, the United States reported a sharp drop in 2020 and increases during 2021-2023. We assessed whether TB cases during 2020-2023 differed from what was expected in the absence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National TB Surveillance System and Electronic Disease Notification system, we constructed Poisson regression models to predict frequencies of TB cases, persons receiving TB diagnosis within 1 year of arrival, and persons for whom postarrival TB follow-up was recommended on the basis of 2010-2019 trends. We observed lower than predicted TB cases (7,170 observed, 8,822 predicted), persons receiving diagnosis within 1 year of arrival (208 observed, 259 predicted), and persons with class B TB (4,827 observed, 7,169 predicted) in 2020. Migration changes and COVID-19-related factors likely contributed to the decrease in TB in 2020 and increases during 2021-2023.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
