TB Still A Killer Despite Medical Progress
In the United States TB remains a leading killer with about 60,000 new cases yearly. Age, sex, and socio economic status shape death rates, with higher mortality among older groups and men over 40. Advances in drugs like streptomycin PAS and isoniazid have shortened hospital stays and cut relapses, but many cases still advance before detection and treatment. A coordinated effort including early detection, sanitation, and adherence to drug regimens continues to be essential in reducing TB impact.
