Responding to COVID-19 has taken so much attention and energy that some public health workers believe it pushed tuberculosis off people’s radar. Texas PublicHealth tuberculosis COVID19 pandemic
had an average TB incidence of 8.4 cases per 100,000 people — more than double that of the state overall and nearly triple the national rate.
The numbers seem to be bouncing back. In 2022, Lopez said, the county’s clinics saw 35 TB patients. But that’s still lower than pre-pandemic levels. Since 2020, Salinas said, tuberculosis has been “overlooked” as a diagnosis for patients reporting “prolonged cough or cough with blood, losing weight [and] having fevers.” After COVID-19 became everyone’s overriding concern, these patients — who included new immigrants as well as people who regularly traveled across the border for work or to visit family on the other side of it — were tested for COVID-19.
