Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious disease primarily caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, affecting mainly the lungs but can also impact other body parts. It poses a significant global health threat, with millions infected and a high mortality rate, especially in regions with high TB and HIV co-infection rates. Diagnosis involves clinical suspicion, laboratory tests, and imaging, while treatment aims to cure the patient and prevent drug resistance.
