Show Notes
Tuberculosis resurgence in the U.S.: Health officials report a surge in cases, with over 10,000 in 2024, the highest since 2013. The pandemic caused a drop in screenings and treatments, leading to a rise in latent infections. Doctors warn of a predictable rebound, straining public health teams. Symptoms include persistent cough, night sweats, fever, and weight loss. Latent TB can become active in 5-10% of people, especially those with weakened immune systems. Early detection through tests and antibiotic treatment can prevent outbreaks.
