Abstract :

Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis usually attack the lungs, but it can attack any part of the body such as kidneys, spine, and brain. In 2010 it was estimated the total cases of TB were 8.8 million cases, while in 2011 it was estimated 8.7 million cases. 6.1 million Cases were reported in 2012. In 2013, drastic increase in cases which raised to 54.2% in world population. In 2014, a slight decrease in spread of disease count to 42%. Combined ratios of 10 million cases were recorded in 2015&2016. The same number of cases was repeated in 2019. Even during pandemic condition also they recorded 10 million cases in 2020.In 2022, the slight decrease is taking place to 28 thousand people got affected through TB. Due to Tb bacteria it is still responsible for more deaths in Worldwide each year than any other infectious disease. Tuberculosis is a major disease for the human population after HIV/AIDS. To overcome this TB disease it requires spreading awareness and understanding of tuberculosis worldwide. When someone’s immune system is weakened, chances of developing Tb are increased on average 10% of the infected individuals develop the disease during their lifetime. In latest survey 3% of new cases and 12 to17% of patients had MDR [Multiple Drug Resistant]-TB and they got treated. The major goals of treatment for TB disease are to Cure the individual patient; Minimize risk of death and disability; and reduce transmission of M. tuberculosis to other persons.
Key Words: Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Immune system, Multidrug-resistant, Population, Disability, Transmission.
