The Delhi health department has identified 12,078 tuberculosis (TB) cases during a screening drive conducted from March 24 to May 5, 2023. This includes 1,323 pediatric cases, representing 11% of the total. The gender distribution shows 6,360 males (52.6%) and 5,715 females (47.3%), with three cases reported among transgender individuals. Health Minister Pankaj Singh emphasized the ongoing efforts to tackle TB, particularly in 38 high-risk wards across the city, aiming to facilitate faster treatment and reduce transmission rates. Notably, 42% of the detected cases are extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB), significantly higher than the national average of 20-24%. EPTB is challenging to diagnose as it occurs outside the lungs and often requires advanced diagnostic techniques. The screening drive involved 71,603 individuals, yielding a 16.8% positivity rate and included 64,764 chest X-rays and 33,038 molecular tests. This initiative reflects Delhi's commitment to addressing its TB burden, which remains the highest in India.
