We examined tuberculosis (TB) infection results for the United States from the 2019-2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Over this period, 10% of non-US-born persons and 7% of those ≥60 years of age tested positive for TB infection. These results provide up-to-date information on TB infection among study subpopulations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
