Resumen
Descripción
Tuberculosis is an infectious bacterial
disease spread through the air that can lead to death when
left untreated. The disease killed some 1.6 million people
in 2017, according to the World Health Organization, making
it one of the top ten causes of death worldwide and one of
the leading causes of deaths from infectious disease. TB is
treatable and patients are usually cured with a standard
six-month course of medications. Treatment often is free of
charge, but many cases of TB aren’t diagnosed or treated
properly, particularly in low-income countries. Improving
the detection of TB is crucial to ensure that infected
individuals receive proper treatment and to prevent them
from infecting others.
