    • Review of current epidemiological data on tuberculosis in the US.
    • Synthesis of established knowledge regarding TB transmission, pathogenesis, and clinical presentation.
    • Analysis of treatment guidelines and best practices for tuberculosis management.

    Main Results:

    • Tuberculosis cases are no longer declining nationally and are rising in some areas.
    • A thorough understanding of TB's epidemiology, transmission, pathogenesis, infectiousness, and treatment is essential for healthcare professionals.
    • Persistent cough, weight loss, fever, anorexia, and night sweats are key indicators warranting consideration of TB.

    Conclusions:

    • Healthcare providers must be prepared for an increased likelihood of encountering patients with tuberculosis.
    • Comprehensive knowledge of tuberculosis is critical for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
    • Tuberculosis should be a primary consideration in the differential diagnosis of patients with persistent respiratory or constitutional symptoms.
