ABSTRACT

Tuberculosis treatment remains a challenge due to the need to consider, when approaching it, the context of individual and collective health. In addition, social and economic issues have been shown to be variables that need to be considered when it comes to treatment effectiveness. In a small proportion of cases, the bacillus is transmitted to humans from infected cows through drinking non-sterilized milk. This mode of transmission plays only a minor role in the natural history of the disease in humans. This review article will focus on the epidemiology, diagnosis, symptoms, treatment of TB, and provide a knowledge on current epidemiology, pathogenesis, and immune response, proper treatment and control of TB.

Keywords: Tuberculosis, Introduction, epidemiology, pathogenesis, immune response, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, diet.
