| Résumé : |
In 2022, 635 tuberculosis (TB) patients were notified in the Netherlands. This is six per cent fewer than in 2021, when there were 673 patients. This decline is consistent with the downward trend in TB cases in the Netherlands over the past 20 years.
In 2020 patient numbers fell more sharply than in the years prior. Between March 2020 and May 2022, coronavirus measures including social distancing and less contact with others were in effect in the Netherlands. This most likely mitigated the spread of the TB bacterium. Another mitigating factor was the decline in the number of immigrants and asylum seekers who came to the Netherlands in 2020 as a result of global travel restrictions.
TB is more prevalent among those not born in the Netherlands. In 2022, this was the case for four out of every five patients. Most patients were born in Eritrea (70), followed by Morocco (59) and Somalia (36). TB is widespread in Africa and Asia.
TB is an infectious and potentially contagious disease caused by a bacterium. Of the 635 patients who had TB in 2022, more than 60 per cent had pulmonary TB and the remaining patients had extrapulmonary TB. A quarter of all patients had the most contagious type (open TB).
People who have become infected with the bacterium but have not developed TB (yet) are said to have contracted a TB infection. Early detection of TB infections makes it possible for these people to be treated before they become ill. This, in turn, prevents the TB from spreading to other people. In addition to the 635 people who became ill in 2022, almost 1,200 people were reported to have contracted a TB infection. More than a quarter of these people was traced using source and contact tracing among those known to have been in close contact with a TB patient. A third were traced by testing new arrivals from countries were TB is widespread.
RIVM reports the number of TB cases and TB infections each year in order to monitor the effect of measures to reduce the incidence of TB in the Netherlands. These measures are described in the National Tuberculosis Control Plan 2021–2025. |
