December 2024—Qiagen has called for a sharper focus on testing strategies to stop new cases of tuberculosis from erupting and spreading in the United States. The U.S. has maintained one of the lowest TB rates in the world, but case counts across all age groups have risen every year since 2020, including a 16 percent increase in cases from 8,320 in 2022 to 9,615 in 2023 (Williams PM, et al.
