Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health challenge, with millions of new cases reported annually. This review provides a comprehensive overview of TB, covering prevention strategies, treatment regimens, management of drug-resistant TB, and future perspectives. Prevention strategies, including vaccination with the Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine, infection control measures, screening and treatment of latent TB infection (LTBI), are crucial for reducing TB transmission. Standard TB treatment involves multidrug regimens administered over several months, with adherence being paramount for successful outcomes. However, drug-resistant TB, including multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB), poses significant challenges, requiring individualized treatment regimens and close monitoring. Future perspectives include ongoing research into novel TB drugs, shorter treatment regimens and improved diagnostics. Despite challenges, continued efforts in TB prevention, treatment and research are essential for reducing the global burden of this infectious disease.

Keywords: Tuberculosis, Global, Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG), Treatment, Prevention, Adherence.
