Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is a persistent global health issue caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, impacting millions of lives annually. This comprehensive overview delves into TB's history, types, causes, risk factors, symptoms, pathogenesis, diagnosis, management, complications, market significance, and treatment. TB presents in latent and active forms, with the latter being highly contagious. Key complications include drug-resistant TB, extra-pulmonary TB, and severe conditions like tuberculous meningitis. The TB treatment market is growing, driven by innovation and increased awareness. Effective treatment involves a combination of antibiotics, and adherence is paramount. The text underscores the importance of early diagnosis, timely treatment, and measures for infection control to tackle the TB challenge and reduce its global impact. Despite the challenges, there is optimism that continued efforts in prevention and healthcare infrastructure improvement can eventually lead to the elimination of this ancient disease.
