Here's another deadly one "nobody" worries about. How many undiagnosed cases do you think there are walking around in your town, or maybe sitting in the airport, or cleaning the airplane?

A total of 9,582 TB cases (a rate of 3.0 cases per 100,000 persons) were reported in the United States in 2013. Both the number of TB cases reported and the case rate decreased; this represents a 3.6% and 4.3% decline, respectively, compared to 2012.*

There were 536 deaths from TB in 2011, the most recent year for which these data are available.1 The number of TB deaths reported annually has decreased by 69% since 1992.
