Tuberculosis (TB), a pulmonary disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis is known to be the second largest cause of death and poses a serious threat to public health throughout the world. Although it can affect immunocompetent people, individuals with weakened immune system (e.g. HIV infection) are at an increased risk.

Abstract


Tuberculosis (TB), a pulmonary disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis is known to be the second largest cause of death and poses a serious threat to public health throughout the world. Although it can affect immunocompetent people, individuals with weakened immune system (e.g. HIV infection) are at an increased risk.
