Why this indicator matters

Tuberculosis remains one of the deadliest infectious diseases. The number of new cases shows the burden of the disease and the needs for screening and care.

What makes this indicator vary

It depends on poverty, housing, malnutrition, HIV, access to screening and treatment, and antibiotic resistance.

Reading precautions

These are WHO estimates that include undetected cases, with a margin of uncertainty. The figure says nothing about severity or deaths.
