Bone tuberculosis occurs primarily from infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria.

COVID-19 can make a person more susceptible to developing active tuberculosis as it is an "opportunistic" infection like Black Fungus but currently there is not enough evidence to suggest TB cases have risen due to the viral disease

COVID-19 vs TB: COVID-19 can provisionally be diagnosed on the basis of symptoms and confirmed with an RT-PCR or nucleic acid testing of infected secretions. Along with these test a Chest X-Ray also suggested by a few doctors based on the severity of symptoms.

World TB Day 2021: Dr Vivek Padegal discusses the importance of adopting measures to try and avoid spreading of the infection to others while coughing after being affected by Pulmonary Tuberculosis (Lung TB).

Hearing loss can occur with aging but by being mindful, you can ensure better listening in the long run. Here are some mistakes you must avoid for better ear health.

World TB Day 2018: Malnutrition weakens the immune system and this is the biggest risk factor for tuberculosis.

The substance is effective even in low concentrations and when combined with known antibiotics its effectiveness is improved by up to 100-fold!

World TB Day is designed to build public awareness that tuberculosis today remains an epidemic in much of the world, causing the deaths of nearly one-and-a-half million people each year, mostly in developing countries. It commemorates the day in 1882 when Dr Robert Koch astounded the scientific community by announcing that he had discovered the cau...

According to a new research, anti-bacterial compounds which are found in soil could prove to be a new treatment for tuberculosis.

Samples from mummies in a Hungarian crypt have revealed that multiple tuberculosis (TB) strains derived from a single Roman ancestor that circulated in 18th-century Europe, scientists said toda

An experimental cocktail of three drugs can dramatically shorten the time it takes to treat patients infected with TB strains that are hard to cure with conventional antibiotics, according to research presented Monday at the world AIDS forum.

A highly anticipated study of the first new tuberculosis vaccine in 90 years showed it offered no added benefit over the current vaccine when it came to protecting babies from TB infections, a disappointing but not entirely unexpected outcome, researchers said on Monday.

Each year, over nine million people around the world get infected with TB and almost two million TB related deaths are recorded worldwide. The actual figures must be far larger than this.

One-third of the world's population is currently infected with TB. World TB Day raises awareness about the global epidemic of tuberculosis (TB) and efforts to eliminate the disease.
