摘要：
Despite many efforts from health policy makers (local and international societies) to eradicate tuberculosis (TB), India continues to account for majority of overall TB cases and higher mortality rates as compared to global scenario. The factors such as hygiene, overcrowding, under nutrition, lack of awareness, non-availability of rapid diagnostic tool and poor efficacy of TB vaccine, are the major reasons why India continues to be among countries accounting for highest TB burden cases annually. To bring this disease under control we need to work on these issues discussed briefly in the present article.
