| dc.description | 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. | |
