Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the deadliest infectious diseases in the world. According to the Indonesian Ministry of Health (Kemenkes), 385,295 TB cases were detected and treated in Indonesia throughout 2021.

This number decreased by 2.04% from the previous year. In 2020, a total of 393,323 TB cases were detected and treated.

Over the past ten years, the number of TB cases has fluctuated. In 2011, for example, 321,308 cases of TB were detected and treated.

The number then tended to increase each year until it reached 570,289 cases in 2018. New TB cases began to decline in 2019, reaching 568,997 cases. Then, the number decreased again in 2020 and 2021.

However, the Ministry of Health estimates that the actual number of TB cases in Indonesia is far greater than those detected and treated. Therefore, the government continues to encourage efforts to conduct mass TB screening, one of which is by utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

TB is an infectious disease caused by infection with *Mycobacterium tuberculosis* bacteria in the lungs. This tuberculosis bacteria attacking the lungs can cause respiratory problems, such as chronic cough and shortness of breath.
