Tuberculosis (TB) still exists in Kashmir, despite claims of its disappearance. A study revealed that TB prevalence was 49.03 per 100,000 people in 2019 and 37.31 per 100,000 people in 2020. Demographic factors showed no significant association with positive TB cases. Budgam and Pulwama had the fewest cases, while Srinagar had the most. The districts of Budgam, Anantnag, Kupwara, and Pulwama received certifications indicating decreasing or nonexistent TB cases. Another study reported symptoms in 3.85% of individuals, with women being more affected. Efforts to combat TB in Kashmir are ongoing, and progress is being made towards a TB-free India by 2025. Infertility linked to TB is a concern, and infrastructure and awareness deficits remain challenges.
