Synopsis

Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the most significant global health challenges, with millions of new cases reported each year. This book serves as a comprehensive resource for healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, and the general public who are committed to eradicating TB.

Through a scientific and evidence-based approach, this book provides an in-depth discussion on the definition of TB, its causes, transmission mechanisms, and clinical symptoms. Subsequent chapters explore the latest diagnostic methods, treatment strategies for both active and drug-resistant TB, as well as the management of extrapulmonary TB. Additionally, the book highlights prevention and control programs, including global and national efforts that have been proven effective in reducing TB cases.

Supported by the latest data and real-life case studies, this book also addresses the challenges in TB eradication, such as drug resistance and limited healthcare access. Furthermore, readers will gain insight into innovative TB research that offers hope for a TB-free future.

Written in a structured and accessible manner, this book is expected to be a key reference for anyone looking to understand and contribute to more effective TB control efforts.
