Why is there tuberculosis?

The occurrence of tuberculosis is related to many factors, including pathogen characteristics, host immune status, social environment, etc. The following is a summary of the main causes:

Cause categorySpecific instructions
Pathogen characteristicsMycobacterium tuberculosis has a thick lipid cell wall that resists immune clearance by the host and remains latent in the body for long periods of time.
immune system deficiencyPeople with HIV infection, diabetes or malnutrition have weakened immune systems and are more likely to develop active tuberculosis.
environmental factorsCrowded and poorly ventilated living conditions accelerate the spread of tuberculosis bacteria.
social factorsThe incidence of tuberculosis is higher in areas of poverty and lack of medical resources.
