Extract

In 2018, 806 tuberculosis (TB) patients were notified in the Netherlands, which was the second lowest number recorded since notification became mandatory in 1980; only 2017 had less notified cases (n=783) [1]. In this century, TB notification rates in the Netherlands declined by 50%, from 9.3 patients per 100 000 population in 2001 (1492 patients) to 4.7 per 100 000 in 2018. In 2018, 77% of the TB patients were born outside the Netherlands.
