2 Objectives 1. TB Epidemiology in the World 2. TB Epidemiology in the U.S. 3. TB Epidemiology in the Heartland Region Estimated TB Incidence by Country, 2009 Global Tuberculosis Control 2010 Report, WHO

3 Global Epidemiology of TB High burden areas: Asia 55% Africa 30% Eastern Mediterranean Region 7% European Region 4% Region of Americas 3% Global Epidemiology of TB Countries with the largest number of incident cases: India ( million) China ( million) South Africa ( million) Nigeria ( million) Indonesia ( million) India alone accounts for an estimated one fifth (21%) of all TB cases worldwide China and India combined account for 35%

4 Global Epidemiology of TB Top 10 Countries with the highest NEW TB CASES per 100,000: Worldwide 137 Swaziland 1,257 South Africa 971 Zimbabwe 742 Namibia 727 Botswana 694 Sierra Leone 644 Lesotho 634 Djibouti 620 Gabon 501 Timor Leste 498 Togo 446 All in Africa! #56 India 168/100,00 #78 China 96/100,000 #15 Myanmar (Burma): 404/100,100 Global Epidemiology of TB There were 9.4 million new TB cases (including 3.3 million women), including 1.1 million cases among people with HIV 1.7 million people died from TB (including women), including people with HIV, equal to 4700 deaths a day TB is among the three greatest causes of death among women aged 15-44

5 Global Epidemiology of TB The TB death rate has fallen by 35% since 1990, and the number of deaths is also declining The estimated global incidence rate fell to 137 cases per population in 2009, after peaking in 2004 at 142 cases per Global Epidemiology of TB There were an estimated new MDR-TB cases in 2008 and deaths from MDR-TB It was estimated that in 2009, 3.3% of all new TB cases had MDR-TB In 2010, the largest WHO MDR-TB survey reported the highest rates ever of MDR-TB, with peaks of up to 28% of new TB cases in some settings of the former Soviet Union
