Abstract
The objective of this work is to offer an updated review of pulmonary tuberculosis; covering epidemiological aspects, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis and current therapy.
Active tuberculosis is addressed in its different clinical forms. Likewise, the concept of latent and subclinical tuberculosis is analyzed. An update of diagnostic methods and therapy of active tuberculosis, both sensitive and resistant to antibiotics, is made.
