How is the U.S. doing in its fight against tuberculosis?

Tuberculosis is a serious lung infection that still affects people in the United States. Public health officials have a goal to eliminate it. A new surveillance report gives us a look at how that fight is going, providing an update on progress and program performance for the years 2016 to 2022. This kind of report is like a regular check-up for a long-term public health campaign. It doesn't tell us about a new drug or a sudden spike in cases. Instead, it's a status update on ongoing work. The report doesn't include specific numbers on how many people were affected or whether the country is on track to meet its goals. It simply provides the latest available information for that seven-year period, which helps experts see trends and plan next steps.
