About one-third of the world's population infected with M.tuberculosis and three million people die every year from this disease, (9.4) million incident cases of TB globally occur annually, most of them occurred in Asia (55%) and Africa (30%), this increasing incidence of TB is a major concern to public health policy-makers in both developing and developed countries. Incorrect and insufficient treatment, emergence of multidrug resistant strains and the appearance of HIV all contributed to the failure of TB control, prompting the World Health Organization to pronounce TB a global emergency in 1993.
