TB Statistics India – National, treatment outcome & state statistics

National TB statistics India

source link India is the country with the highest burden of TB. The World Health Organisation (WHO) TB statistics for India for 2016 give an estimated incidence figure of 2.79 million cases of TB for India. The TB incidence is the number of new cases of active TB disease during a certain time period (usually a year).

Estimated burden of TB 2016
Estimates of TB burden (2016)	Number	Rate per 100,000 population
Incidence of TB cases (includes HIV + TB)	2.790 million	211
Incidence (HIV+TB only)	87,000	6.6
Incidence (MDR/RR-TB))	147,000	11
Mortality (excludes HIV+TB)	423,000	32
Mortality (HIV+TB only)	12,000	0.92

watch When reading high mortality figures such as these it can be difficult to realize what it means at an individual level. So to get some understanding of what it can mean at an individual level it can be helpful to read what it means to be dying of TB.

It is estimated that about 40% of the Indian population is infected with TB bacteria, the vast majority of whom have latent TB rather than TB disease.

TB treatment outcomes

Trend of treatment outcome of TB patients notified from the Public Sector under the RNTCP

The treatment success rate among microbiologically confirmed new TB patients remained consistently above 85%. Among previously treated microbiologically confirmed TB patients, the treatment success rate remained at 70%.

Treatment outcome of TB patients in the private sector

There are currently few notifications from the private sector although they are now increasing. The following are the treatment outcomes for patients from the private sector in 2015.

District	Notified patients	Treatment completed	Died	Lost to follow up	Not evaluated	Treatment regimen change
Patna	14,940	73%	3%	5%	18%	1%
Mehsana	2,909	73%	5%	5%	16%	1%
Mumbai	11,370	76%	2%	5%	13%	1%

Indian state TB statistics

In 2016 out of the total reported patients, almost one fifth of the patients were reported from the private sector. As shown below there was wide variation from state to state in respect of the proportionate reporting of TB patients from the two sectors. In Kerala the reporting was almost equal, whilst the number reported was nil in some of the NE states.

Also, as shown below out of the million and a half people with TB, who were tested for HIV in 2016, about 3% or 50,000 were found to be HIV positive with again great variation among the different states.
