March 24th was also designated as "World Tuberculosis Day". Tuberculosis is a major public health problem facing the world today. The theme of this year's "TB Day" is "* * * Join hands to end the TB epidemic".

Tan Desai, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), said: "The COVID-19 epidemic and conflicts in many countries have seriously damaged tuberculosis prevention, detection and treatment services." He said that the number of global tuberculosis deaths reported by WHO in 2022 increased for the first time in more than a decade.

Transmission route of tuberculosis:

1, respiratory tract transmission, respiratory tract transmission is the most important transmission route of tuberculosis. Mycobacterium tuberculosis excreted by tuberculosis patients through coughing, sneezing and laughing. Floating in the droplet nucleus and spreading, inhalation by healthy people can cause infection.

2. Transmission through digestive tract and skin, such as eating food containing mycobacterium tuberculosis, mother-to-child transmission of sick pregnant women, skin wound contact infection, etc. But this mode of transmission is rare now.
