A World Health Organization (WHO) report shows that several regions have the highest number of tuberculosis (TB) cases globally.

Case mapping is divided by region under WHO monitoring. Southeast Asia accounts for 45% of total global cases, Africa 23%, the Western Pacific 18%, the Eastern Mediterranean 8.1%, the Americas 2.9%, and Europe 2.2%.

The WHO identifies 30 countries with the highest TB cases, accounting for 87% of the global total. Eight of these countries account for more than two-thirds of global cases.

India ranks first, with 28% of global cases in 2021. Indonesia is second, contributing 9.2%.

The WHO estimates that India had approximately 2 million cases in 2021, while Indonesia had 1 million.

China is third with 7.4%, followed by the Philippines with 7%.

Other countries with high TB rates include Pakistan (5.8%), Nigeria (4.4%), Bangladesh (3.6%), and the Democratic Republic of Congo (2.9%).

Adult males had the highest number of TB cases, accounting for 56.5% of all cases in 2021. Adult females accounted for 32.5%, and children for 11%.

An estimated 10.6 million people fell ill with TB worldwide in 2021, a 4.5% increase from 10.1 million in 2020.

Similarly, the TB incidence rate (new cases per 100,000 population per year) is estimated to have increased by 3.6% between 2020 and 2021.
