New York City is recording a “dramatic” rise in tuberculosis cases, reports suggest — fueling fears the disease could resurge in the US.
Preliminary data shows 500 cases of tuberculosis (TB) have been diagnosed in the city so far this year — marking a 20 percent increase from this time last year.
Infections are also at their highest level in the city for this time of year in more than a decade, raising concerns the disease could spill into other areas of the country.
