Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases

Tuberculosis (TB) and respiratory diseases remain major global health challenges affecting millions of people each year. Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, primarily affects the lungs but can also impact other parts of the body. Respiratory infections and chronic lung diseases spread through airborne transmission and can range from mild conditions to severe, life-threatening illnesses. Early diagnosis, vaccination, infection control, proper treatment, and public health awareness are essential for reducing disease transmission and improving respiratory health worldwide. Advances in diagnostics, therapeutics, and pulmonary medicine continue to strengthen global efforts against respiratory diseases.
