Tuberculosis is the infectious disease that causes the most deaths each year in the world. Around 25% of the population is estimated to be infected with, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria that gives rise to the disease, and more than one and a half million people die each year from this cause. A rigorous bibliometric analysis has been developed around tuberculosis disease, and the most remarkable results are presented in this paper. It is observed that interest in tuberculosis is growing, and the control of its spread has become one of the main health priorities in the world, with the United States, the United Kingdom, and India, leading the research in this area. On the other hand, it has been observed that there are two main health concerns around the tuberculosis: drug-resistant tuberculosis and co-infection with HIV. Finally, conclusions are offered, playing a frontline role in science policy decisions and research performance evaluations.
结核病是全球每年导致死亡人数最多的传染病。据估计，约有 25%的人口感染了结核分枝杆菌，这种细菌会引发疾病，每年因此而死亡的人数超过 150 万。围绕结核病进行了严格的文献计量分析，本文呈现了最显著的结果。可以看出，人们对结核病的兴趣正在增加，控制其传播已成为世界主要的卫生重点之一，美国、英国和印度在该领域的研究处于领先地位。另一方面，人们观察到结核病有两个主要的健康关注点：耐多药结核病和与 HIV 的合并感染。最后，提供了结论，在科学政策决策和研究绩效评估中发挥了前沿作用。
