New cases: rising or falling?[edit]
The text states that "The absolute number of tuberculosis cases has been decreasing since 2005 and new cases since 2002." However, this appears to be contradicted by the chart File:TB incidence.png, which shows a steady increase in the number of new reported cases from 2000 through 2006 (end of chart). cmadler (talk) 19:20, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
Epidemiology of tuberculosis still uses maps with 2004 and 2007 data, while a new map with 2016 data would already be available and is being used already in Tuberculosis The question is how comparable those 3 maps are. (Eric D NL 13 March 2020)

MDGs[edit]
Given that TB reduction is an Millennium Development Goal it probably has reduced a lot and this should be mentioned here in the epidemiology. http://www.who.int/tb/country/en/index.html seems to show this. so epidemology is not just absolute figures, but trends that these reports explain quite well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.115.27.138 (talk) 15:16, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
Proposed merge to tuberculosis[edit]
A merge has been proposed to tuberculosis (not by me).
- Support the content could easily be placed in the TB article. There isn't enough content to justify a split. --Tom (LT) (talk) 22:31, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
- Neutral I was hoping that someone would eventual come and expand this... Lots to be written. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 23:45, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
- Support for now... While it's a notable topic, there simply isn't enough written as of now to justify a separate article. Could be split in the future. Eddie891 Talk Work 12:25, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
