Tuberculosis (TB) remains to be the deadliest infectious disease in the world, according to WHO. It also said since 2000, there have been 54 millions deaths due to this disease. However, according to the report TB deaths have decreased by 2% every year officially, but there are many unreported and undiagnosed cases and deaths. It is a huge challenge to track the undetected and underreported TB cases and treat them.
