Five Unseen Foes Five Worst Diseases Humans Battled and Overcame

The Silent Killer: Tuberculosis

Our third adversary is the subversive and wily Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causal agent of tuberculosis (TB). Named the "White Plague," it operates insidiously, often going undetected until it becomes lethal.

Despite advances in treatment and management, TB remains a global threat due to factors such as drug resistance and the HIV/AIDS epidemic. While our battle with this silent killer is still ongoing, global research initiatives and increasing access to healthcare are arming us for a decisive victory.
