Tuberculosis (TB) eradication is achievable in Denmark by 2040, with incidence below 1 per million. Declining Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MT) infection prevalence and effective public health strategies are key to eliminating TB in the Danish population.

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health concern.
  • Defining eradication criteria is crucial for public health policy.
  • Assessing TB trends in both native and immigrant populations is essential.

Purpose:

  • To define criteria for TB eradication.
  • To evaluate the feasibility of TB eradication in Denmark by 2040.
  • To analyze factors influencing TB incidence and prevalence.

Summary:

  • Eradication is defined as TB incidence <1/million/year and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MT) prevalence ≤1% and declining.
  • TB eradication in Danes is projected by 2040, barring major social disasters.
  • Immigrant TB rates will decline but may not be fully eradicated in the first generation.

Impact:

  • Provides a roadmap for TB eradication in developed nations.
  • Highlights the importance of sustained public health interventions.
  • Informs policy on immigration and infectious disease control.
