Tuberculosis (TB) incidence is rising due to HIV coinfection and drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains. Socioeconomic factors and immigration also contribute to the increase in TB cases.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Medical History

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) is an ancient infectious disease with a history of declining incidence.
  • Recent years have seen a significant resurgence in TB cases globally and within the US.

Observation:

  • The rise in TB is linked to coinfection with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
  • Emergence of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains is a major contributing factor.
  • US social factors, including socioeconomic conditions and immigration, exacerbate TB spread.

Findings:

  • This article provides a historical perspective on tuberculosis.
  • It details current diagnostic, transmission, and prevention strategies for TB.
  • A case study highlights the need for surgical intervention in complex TB cases.

Implications:

  • Understanding TB's resurgence requires addressing HIV coinfection and antimicrobial resistance.
  • Public health strategies must consider socioeconomic determinants and immigration.
  • Effective TB management necessitates a multifaceted approach, including surgical options when indicated.
