Approximately one-quarter of the world's population is estimated to be infected with tuberculosis (TB), often in the form of latent TB, which means they are not currently ill but carry the bacteria. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 1.5 billion people are believed to have latent TB. However, only a small percentage of these individuals will develop active TB disease over their lifetime. Efforts to diagnose and treat TB continue to be a global health priority.
