This report presents people with tuberculosis (TB) disease notified to the NationalĀ TBĀ Surveillance System (NTBS) in England and aims to describe the epidemiology ofĀ TBĀ disease in England up to the end of 2022.
This report is produced using a finalised data set and thus data presented here is not āprovisionalā as reported in the more regular but less comprehensive quarterly statistics. However, changes can still occur to reported numbers, due to late notifications and updates to records as more information becomes available. Therefore, data presented in the most recent report supersedes those previously published.
Most health protection functions are devolved to the other UK nationsā public health teams so this report only coversĀ TBĀ notifications and data from England.
The report consists of the following chapters:
- Executive summary
- TBĀ incidence and epidemiology in England, 2022
- TBĀ diagnosis and microbiology in England, 2022
- TB treatment and outcomes in England, 2022
- TBĀ in children in England, 2022
- Methodology and definitions
These will be followed by further chapters describing:
- TB prevention in England, 2022
- insight analysis and progress against monitoring indicators in relation to the TBĀ action plan for England, 2021 to 2026Ā (jointly published with NHS England).
