Around 40000 people are diagnosed with #TB each year in the EU/EEA & some cases still go 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱. For the World TB Day, we speak with #ECDC's expert Senia Rosales-Klintz about: ➡️ how TB can remain hidden in the body ➡️ what treatment really involves ➡️ why gaps in detection & care still matter.

TB remains a public health challenge in Europe - too many cases are missed. New data from #ECDC & #WHOEurope show that 1 in 5 tuberculosis (TB) cases in the region are not diagnosed or reported. That means people are not diagnosed, not reported & not treated, allowing transmission to continue.
