So, WHO ´s released their latest report on global tuberculosis burden. I´ve written down some figures and compared them.

In eastern Europe, TB is present in local population due to innefficient health systems. In western Europe, most TB cases are among immigrants from Eastern Europe, south Asia and Africa.

This is a list of TB estimated incidence rate (new cases) per 100.000 inhabitants in each country in year 2013. I´ve added a few non-european countries for comparison.
