A CDC spokesperson identified two outbreaks in the last decade linked to more tuberculosis cases than the ongoing outbreak centered in Wyandotte County.

Kansas is currently facing one the largest tuberculosis outbreaks in U.S. history with 67 confirmed active cases and 79 confirmed latent cases.

A tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas has killed two people and caused at least 146 to become infected with the potentially deadly respiratory disease during one of the largest outbreaks in the nation's history.

A new plan to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries on Wyandotte County roadways is set to go into effect on the Kansas side of the metro.

State health officials said that dozens of people in the Kansas City, Kan., area have the disease, which has drawn a federal response.

A yearlong outbreak of tuberculosis in the Kansas City, Kansas area has taken local experts aback, even if it does not appear to be the largest outbreak of the disease in U.S. history as a state health official claimed last week.

A tuberculosis outbreak that started in Wyandotte County has grown to be the largest in the U.S. since the CDC started tracking the illness in the 1950s, health officials said.

More than 60 people were being treated in the Kansas City area as of Friday, according to the state health department.

Wyandotte County leaders are asking people to “remain calm” and remember that the risk of contracting TB is low for most people. According to the CDC, TB is a disease caused by germs that spread person-to-person through the air. It can happen while someone with active TB coughs, sings, or even speaks.

An ongoing tuberculosis outbreak in two Kansas counties has sickened dozens since January 2024. Health officials are raising the alarm over a large and ongoing tuberculosis (TB) outbreak in Kansas.
