Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the world's deadliest infectious diseases, caused by the bacterium
Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It primarily affects the lungs but can spread to other organs, and it transmits through
airborne droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Despite being preventable and curable, TB continues
to pose major public health challenges, especially in low- and middle-income countries. This guide provides a
comprehensive overview of TB's causes, risk factors, modes of transmission, and prevention strategies. Emphasizing
early detection, vaccination, public awareness, and proper treatment adherence, the paper outlines how global
efforts can effectively reduce TB incidence and improve health outcomes.
