It is important to note that these data are preliminary and may change when final numbers are published later this year.
There were 10,260 cases provisionally reported in 2025, compared to 10,395 cases in 2024. The rate of TB was 3.0 cases per 100,000 people in 2025 compared to 3.1 cases per 100,000 in 2024, a 2% decrease.
