ECDC release annual TB epidemiological report for 2018

The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has published its annual tuberculosis (TB) epidemiological report for 2018.

During 2018, 30 countries in the EU/EEA reported 52,862 TB cases. The number of notifications per 100,000 of the population was 10.2. The overall notification rate continued to fall, as did most country-specific rates. However, the report reveals that the EU/EEA is not currently on-track to reach the goal of ending the TB epidemic by 2030.
