A Review: History, Structure, Diagnosis and Treatment of Tuberculosis Disease

Abstract

In the present scenario, tuberculosis is of the most infectious disease which is caused when Mycobacterium tuberculosis gets encountered into the body. Tuberculosis being a communicable disease or transferrable disease, it is easily passed down to other person who remains in contact to the infected person by the process of inhaling air droplets carrying that particular bacteria. Tuberculosis mainly affects the lungs, but it can also affect the other organs. When this bacteria encounters in the body, the immune cells checks and control pathogen. However this disease remains latent but can become active at any time after some years when the particular immune system is weakened. If this disease is not treated at that time, then this disease can also become life- threating illness.
