FREE TB Testing March 24, 2022 11am-2pm World TB Day is a day to educate the public about the impact of TB around the world. TB is a treatable and curable infection. Each year, we recognize World TB Day on March 24. This annual event commemorates the date on March 24th, 1882, when Dr. Robert Koch announced his discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacillus that causes tuberculosis (TB). Since 1998, TB cases in the United States overall have been steadily declining. However, with every state in the country reporting cases, too many people in the United States still suffer from TB disease. We must continue to find and treat cases of active TB disease and test for and treat latent TB infection to prevent progression to disease and make TB elimination a reality. Even today, TB can be fatal if not treated in time.
