Tuberculosis New and Relapse Cases by Country

This chart shows Tuberculosis New and Relapse Cases by Country. 

Tuberculosis is thus the leading cause of death in people with HIV/AIDS, and HIV infection contributes to a substantial proportion of tuberculosis deaths. On a public health level, recurrent tuberculosis may account for 10%–30% of all cases within some weaker tuberculosis control programs, particularly those that do not use at least 6 months of rifampin treatment, and contributes to ongoing transmission of infection to contacts of cases in the home, community, and health facilities, largely from HIV-uninfected patients.
