摘要：What is already known about this topic? Targets for reducing tuberculosis (TB) have been set in a World Health Organization (WHO) initiative, The End TB Strategy. Achieving these targets will require substantial annual reductions in the incidence of TB and the number of TB deaths. What is added by this report? In 2018, an estimated 10 million incident TB cases and 1.5 million TB deaths occurred, reductions of 2% and 5%, respectively, from 2017. TB epidemiology varied by WHO region. What are the implications for public health practice? Innovative approaches to case finding, scale-up of TB preventive treatment, use of newer TB treatment regimens, and prevention and control of HIV will contribute to decreasing TB incidence.
