Eurosurveillance publishes new EU-wide data on tuberculosis
The data from 27 European Union countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway show that considerable progress has been made in preventing and controlling the disease. The number of newly diagnosed cases and the overall notification rate declined continuously in the past decade, and the notification rate in 2007 was 12% lower than in 2003. In spite of this decline, a total of 84,917 new cases of TB were registered in 2007 and a number of challenges hamper the progress towards the elimination of TB in the EU.
