DuPage County Health Department observes World TB Day
The DuPage County Health Department is observing World TB Day today, March 24, with a reminder to the public to stay informed about the disease.
TB is an airborne, contagious disease that can be transmitted through sneezing, coughing, or speaking. It typically infects the lungs, though it can infect other areas of the body. TB germs can also be latent, present in someone without making them sick. If a person’s immune system is weakened, those germs could become active and multiply.
About 13 million people in the U.S. have a latent TB infection, according to the CDC, with 9,633 active cases reported across the country in 2023. In DuPage County, there were 41 active TB cases noted in 2025.
The DCHD’s TB Clinic in Wheaton, at 111 N. County Farm Road, offers evaluations, treatment, and resources to county residents.
