Tuberculosis (TB) is an ancient disease that continues to plague humanity, causing significant morbidity and mortality. Despite significant progress in its diagnosis and management, TB remains a global health concern. The emergence of drug-resistant strains and co-infection with HIV has complicated the control of TB. Recent advances in diagnostic tools and treatment strategies have provided valuable insights into the complex dynamics of TB infection within the lungs. This article explores the evolving landscape of TB diagnosis and management, with a focus on insights gained from studying the lungs.
