According to the RIVM report ‘Tuberculosis in the Netherlands 2014’, a total of 823 people were diagnosed with TB last year. That is 21 fewer patients than in 2013. For 2015, no increase in this number of patients is expected, on the basis of continued monitoring of the TB situation in the Netherlands, despite a greater influx of migrants.
