As we observe the rising incidence of TB in marginalized communities, it becomes crucial to question why this malice persists in an evolving society. While nutritional deficiency is one of the key drivers of TB, it is also an important symptom of the deeper issue of poverty and inequality, which exert an even more profound influence on TB. Poverty remains the main driving factor for sustained TB burden and addressing poverty is crucial in the fight against TB and should therefore receive much more concerted attention.
