Tuberculosis (TB) is still a public health issue; it continues to reign as one of the world's deadliest diseases. One-third of the world's population has been infected with TB. Identified cases of mycobacterium must be notified in an attempt to reduce the public health impact of TB on the population. TB transmission occurs via inhalation of droplet nuclei. The most common site for the development of TB is the lungs. Treatment of TB depends on whether latent TB or active TB is treated.
结核病仍然是一个公共卫生问题；它依旧是世界上最致命的疾病之一。全球三分之一的人口已感染结核杆菌。确诊的分枝杆菌病例必须上报，以降低结核病对公众健康的影响。结核病通过吸入飞沫核传播。结核病最常见的发病部位是肺部。结核病的治疗取决于治疗的是潜伏性结核还是活动性结核。
