Talk:Epidemiology of tuberculosis

New cases: rising or falling?

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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

Proposed merge to tuberculosis

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 21:12, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
