Tuberculosis is an infectious disease whose diagnosis dates back to very early ages, which still maintains its importance in the world and in our country, can be treated and prevented with preventive (prophylactic) treatment. It is one of the leading causes of death in HIV/AIDS positive patients. Tuberculosis can be seen in two ways, mainly lung tuberculosis and extra-pulmonary tuberculosis.
