This document summarizes the history, diagnosis, treatment, and control of tuberculosis (TB). It outlines the key events in TB history from 1882 to modern strategies. TB can present as primary, latent, reactivated, or extra pulmonary forms. Diagnosis involves microscopy, culture, molecular tests, and drug susceptibility testing. Treatment follows standard short-course regimens under direct observation. Control relies on detection, treatment, contact investigation, and isolation following DOTS and STOP TB strategies with standardized recording and political/financial support.
