Fighting tuberculosis (TB) was the reason Breathe California was originally founded in 1911. We have been educating the community about TB, including latent TB, for over a century. The Santa Clara County Public Health Department has recently shared that the number of new local cases of tuberculosis (TB) increased by 19% from 2023, following a 6% increase in 2022. In 2021 The San José area had the second highest TB rate in the nation! This increasing local health risk is especially dangerous for small children living with undiagnosed/untreated adults with the TB disease. Find out if you are at risk for TB. Testing and treatment for latent TB easier and quicker than for active TB.
