Tuberculosis Statistics in the United States

As this eMedTV article explains, tuberculosis statistics in the United States show that the decline in tuberculosis cases has slowed in recent years. This part of the eMedTV library provides explanations for several tuberculosis statistics.

Tuberculosis Transmission

Tuberculosis transmission can occur when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks. As this eMedTV page explains, these actions send the tuberculosis bacteria into the air, which can result in a person becoming infected.

Tuberculosis Treatment

Tuberculosis treatment usually lasts at least 6 months and involves taking several antibiotics. This eMedTV resource describes these antibiotics (such as isoniazid and rifampin) and explains how tuberculosis treatment might affect your life.
