An outbreak of tuberculosis (TB), a lung disease often marked by a persistent cough, began in January 2024 in Kansas City, Kansas, and two neighboring counties. As of early March 2025, the outbreak is ongoing. So far, 147 people have been diagnosed, with 67 developing symptoms. The remaining 80 cases are classified as latent infections, meaning the individuals carry the bacteria but do not show symptoms.

TB remains the world’s deadliest infectious disease, second only to COVID-19 during the first three years of the pandemic.
