Spatiotemporal trends in and challenges of addressing tuberculosis in Brazil before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, 2001–2023
TB continues to present critical public health challenges in Brazil, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic. Spatiotemporal analysis revealed significant regional clusters of TB burden. Strengthening surveillance systems and improving early diagnosis and treatment adherence strategies, especially in high-burden regions, are essential to mitigate the post-pandemic resurgence of TB and to achieve the World Health Organization's goal of eliminating TB by 2035.
