Main Article

Figure 1

Projected TB cases and outbreaks, 2023–2032, United States, in study of impact, costs, and cost-effectiveness of TB outbreak investigations. Shown are the total number of TB cases (A), the number of TB cases occurring in outbreaks (B), the total number of TB clusters (C), and the number of TB outbreaks (i.e., clusters of >3 cases) (D) projected to occur during 2023–2032 and cluster size distributions of the TB clusters (E). Clusters of size 1 are assumed to have no transmission links, and only clusters with >3 cases (shaded in orange) are investigated in outbreak investigations.
