Incidence rates of tuberculosis declined among individuals under 25 in California, but disparities persist based on age and ethnicity.
A total of 8249 cases of tuberculosis were reported in persons younger than 25, with Asian and Hispanic populations showing the highest rates.
Analysis of health data indicates that rates of CNS TB have not decreased; rates remain significantly higher for US-born individuals.
Strengthening collaboration between public health and primary care could enhance identification and support for at-risk youth in California.
