Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the lethal diseases that affect millions of people around the world. The primary concern associated with this endemic ailment is an elevated level of resistance. World Health Organisation (WHO) has taken steps to reduce the incidence of TB at an accelerated rate under the purview of ending the TB epidemic by 2030. To achieve this goal, there are hurdles that need to be addressed, which are not only limited to TB diagnosis, treatment, and prevention but also linked to dealing with social and economic determinants in close collaboration with diverse sectors in the healthcare domain. In this scenario, this chapter focuses on the epidemiology of TB, primary causes and symptoms of TB, pathophysiological process of TB along with the involvement of cells and transcriptional factors, current treatment regimen with its drawbacks, and future treatment options. This chapter represents an up-to-date overview of these disease conditions and its therapy in global perspectives.
