Global TB epidemic continues to cause significant morbidity and mortality especially in developing countries like India. The causative organism M. tuberculosis has infected almost one third of world population. The mode of transmission of tuberculosis occurs by inhalation of droplet nuclei containing tuberculosis bacteria. Infection leads to establishment of granulomas in lungs. There are no clinical symptoms in latent stage of infection. Active disease results when bacteria grow and multiply in the host due to inability of immune system to contain the infection.
