Tuberculosis and Antitb Drugs by Sejal Khuman is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic bacterial infection primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, affecting mainly the lungs but can involve other organs. It can present as latent TB infection, which is non-infectious, or active TB disease, which is infectious and causes significant damage to the body. Treatment involves a combination of first-line anti-TB drugs, with a focus on preventing drug resistance and transmission, and is supported by the DOTS program for supervised therapy.
