Kansas officials have recorded one of the largest tuberculosis outbreaks in U.S. history since monitoring began in the 1950s.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has documented 67 confirmed cases of active TB, with 60 in Wyandotte County and seven in Johnson County.
“Additionally, there are 79 confirmed latent TB cases, including 77 in Wyandotte County and two in Johnson County,” ABC News noted.

ABC News reports:
Cases linked to the outbreak were first reported in January 2024, according to KDHE. So far, there have been two deaths related to the outbreak, both of which occurred last year.
“The current Kansas City, Kan. Metro tuberculosis (TB) outbreak is the largest documented outbreak in U.S. history, presently (since the 1950s, when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) started monitoring and reporting TB cases),” KDHE said in a statement. “This outbreak is still ongoing, which means that there could be more cases.”
In a statement to ABC News, a CDC spokesperson said the outbreak is among the largest in U.S. history, but not the largest.
The spokesperson said a 2015-2017 outbreak response recorded more than 170 cases of TB and over 400 cases of inactive TB while a 2021 outbreak linked to a contaminated bone graft product infected 113 people.
Health officials say the risk to people living in surrounding counties and to the general public is “very low,” and that the department is following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“Some of you are aware, we have and still have mobilized staff and resources addressing an unprecedented tuberculosis outbreak in one of our counties,” Ashley Goss, a deputy secretary at the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, told lawmakers, according to Topeka Capital-Journal.
“We are working collaboratively with CDC on that. CDC remains on the ground with us to support. That’s not a negative. This is normal when there’s something unprecedented or a large outbreak of any kind, they will come and lend resources to us to help get a stop to that. We are trending in the right direction right now,” Goss added.
From the Topeka Capital-Journal:
Goss said that when KDHE got involved with the Kansas City outbreak last summer, there were 65 active cases and roughly the same number of latent cases. She said the number is now down to about 32 active cases.
For active patients, after 10 days of taking medications and having three sputum tests, they will generally no longer be able to transmit tuberculosis.
“They’re no longer contagious,” Goss said. “They can go about their lives, they don’t have to stay away from people, and they can go back to work, do the things, as long as they continue to take their meds.”
The course of treatment is several months long for active and latent cases.
“We still have a couple of fairly large employers that are involved that we’re working with on this,” Goss said. “So we do expect to find more, but we’re hoping the more that we find is latent TB not active, so that their lives are not disrupted and having to stay home from work. Because it is highly contagious.”
May I make one suggestion?
Do NOT take any mRNA vaccine they try to push to “cure” this emergency.
Instead, you might want to consider this:
