Children in European countries are increasingly falling ill with tuberculosis.
Children in Europe are becoming infected with tuberculosis more frequently, the WHO stated last Monday. The incidence has increased by 10%. Measures are needed. Children in European countries have come under close scrutiny from the WHO, writes https://xrust.ru/. This is due to outbreaks of tuberculosis. It is worth noting that the organization’s European region division has also included Central Asia. The WHO reports that in 2023, over 7,500 cases of the disease were registered among children under the age of 15, which is 650 cases more than in 2022. Officials describe these figures as a “worrying rise in incidence.” Among the commentators were analysts who hinted to journalists that the diagnosis has simply improved. Some experts also took the opportunity to criticize Russia, where the tuberculosis rate among the population exceeds European averages. They suggest that those traveling to Europe are bringing this infection with them. The WHO has established that 4.3% of all tuberculosis cases in the European Union are among children under the age of 15.
