Complete Health Indicator Report of Tuberculosis (TB) Cases

Definition

Rate of newly reported cases of tuberculosis per 100,000 population.

Numerator

Number of tuberculosis cases by count date.

Denominator

Number of persons in the population.

Why Is This Important?

Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by a type of bacteria called ''Mycobacterium tuberculosis''. TB is typically spread through the air when a person with TB disease of the lungs or throat expels tiny airborne particles (droplet nuclei). People nearby may breathe in these particles and become infected. People who have TB infection do not feel sick, do not have symptoms, and cannot spread TB. But, they may develop active TB disease at some time in the future. The bacteria usually attack the lungs but may attack any part of the body. The United States experienced a resurgence of TB disease between 1985 and 1992 when the number of TB cases increased by 20%. Early detection and treatment of TB are essential to control the spread of the disease and prevent outbreaks.

How Are We Doing?

In 2022, 33 cases of TB were reported in Utah. For the five-year period from 2017 to 2021, Utah had an average of 24.0 cases of TB reported per year. In 2022 the TB case rate in Utah was 1.0 per 100,000 persons, an increase from 0.5 in 2021.

How Do We Compare With the U.S.?

From 1993 to 2020, the case rate of TB in Utah was an average of 31% of the national rate.

What Is Being Done?

The TB Control Program at the Utah Department of Health is charged with reducing the incidence of TB disease through timely reporting and treatment. The Program also provides screening and preventive therapy for those with TB infection. There are 13 local health departments throughout Utah that are the front line of TB case management for the state. Their responsibilities include: * diagnosis of TB infection and active TB disease * treatment of TB infection and active TB disease * ensuring patient adherence to treatment * screening of high-risk populations * coordination/referral * providing culturally appropriate client education.

Relevant Population Characteristics

The racial/ethnic distribution of tuberculosis (TB) in Utah for the five-year period of 2018-2022 was as follows: 39.2% occurred in persons of Hispanic ethnicity, 26% in Asians, 12.5% in Whites, 8.3% in Blacks/African Americans, 11.7% in Native Hawaiians/Other Pacific Islanders, and 2.5% in American Indian/Alaskan Natives. Over the past five years in Utah, more than 97% of Black/African American and Asian persons with TB were non-US-born. The racial/ethnic distribution of TB morbidity for the United States in 2022 was as follows: 44% occurred in Asians; 37% in persons of Hispanic ethnicity; 10% in Blacks/African Americans; 5% in Whites; 3% in persons of multiple or unknown races; 2% in American Indians/Alaskan Natives; and 2% in Native Hawaiians/Other Pacific Islanders. (CDC. ''Tuberculosis - United States, 2022'', 2023). In the years 2018-2022, 78.3% of the persons diagnosed with TB in Utah were non-US-born. In 2022, 72.4% of the national case total of persons diagnosed with TB were non-US-born. (CDC. ''Tuberculosis - United States, 2022'', 2023). These numbers show the importance of effectively screening and treating individuals from high TB prevalence areas.

Health Care System Factors

It is very important that patients with active tuberculosis (TB) disease adhere to their treatment regimen. Treatment adherence is not only important for effective therapy in patients, but also to prevent an increase in cases of drug-resistant ''Mycobacterium tuberculosis''. From 2017 to 2021, drug susceptibility testing was completed on 100% (120 of 120) of the TB cases confirmed by laboratory culture. During this period, 8% of culture isolates had resistance to one or more anti-TB medications relative to the total number of laboratory culture confirmed TB cases. These statistics highlight the need for continued drug sensitivity testing for all TB culture isolates, and the need for directly observed therapy (DOT) for all TB patients to ensure that they take all their medications.

Risk Factors

About 10% of persons with tuberculosis (TB) infection who have normal immune systems will develop TB disease at some point in life. Certain conditions increase the odds that infection will progress to active disease, including: *HIV infection *recent exposure (within the past two years), particularly children <5 years of age *certain medical conditions: silicosis, gastrectomy, low body weight (>=10% below ideal), chronic renal failure/dialysis, diabetes mellitus, organ transplant, carcinoma of head or neck, or high-dose corticosteroid therapy *illicit injection drug use or other high-risk substance abuse (e.g., crack cocaine) *a history of inadequately treated TB. [[br]] [[br]] HIV infection is the strongest risk factor for progression of TB infection to TB disease. For people infected with TB and HIV, the risk of developing TB disease is about 7% to 10% per year. During the years 2018-2022, about 3.3% of persons with TB in Utah were co-infected with HIV. This is lower than the 4.7% of persons with TB in the United States in 2022 for whom test results were available who were co-infected with HIV (CDC. ''Tuberculosis - United States, 2022'', 2023).

Health Status Outcomes

Although Utah is a low-incidence tuberculosis (TB) state, the state has faced the challenge of managing an increasing number of cases of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB) in the past several years. MDR TB is defined as cases of TB disease in persons whose ''Mycobacterium tuberculosis'' isolates are resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampin, the two most effective TB medications. This makes treatment of MDR TB more difficult, prolonged, and costly. Treatment of MDR TB can last 18-24 months or more. The state had one case of MDR TB reported from 2018 to 2022.
