Who is more at risk?

Poverty and M.tuberculosis are closely linked with each other. The main causative agent for tuberculosis is M.tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is ranks alongside HIV/AIDS as the top notch infectious killer worldwide with 9.6 million of new incident cases and 1.5 million death estimated to have been occurred in 2014[7]. The majority of people who were infected and killed were belong from developing and underdeveloped country. As an airborne disease tuberculosis could affect anyone. People in underdeveloped country have poor access to health and basic hygiene. People often live in crowded , unventilated housing, and polluted places. It got this statistical advantage of being spread rapidly in underdeveloped country were people will have weak immune system. Thus, these people with weak immune system are most susceptible and could get another member in their family/friend boundary to get easily affected.

Various new diagnosis tools are particularly awaited to improve the diagnosis of disease, spreading of diseases, rapid detection of drug-resistance, latent infection, as for use of dosage in the pediatric population and global target. Lowering the burden of this disease and upon complete removal of this epidemic could be the best return in terms of investment. Although the strategy of removing this disease in developed country have tried to be impoverished. But because of the challenge of tuberculosis in global target, mostly in underdeveloped country remains enormous with several challenges which had become problematic to eradicate the disease.Thus, a major concerns must have to be majorly focused if we want Mycobacterium tuberculosis to eliminate in global level.
