Abstract:
Artificial intelligence-based cough analysis has emerged as a potential non-sputum approach for pulmonary tuberculosis triage and diagnostic support. This technical review synthesizes evidence from cough-based TB studies, highlighting current datasets, AI methods, performance benchmarks, implementation requirements, and translational barriers. We identify key limitations, including dataset bias, recording variability, limited prospective validation, and insufficient evidence in early-stage or asymptomatic TB populations.

Latent tuberculosis infection occurs when TB bacteria are present in a person's body, but are not causing illness or symptoms. It is not contagious, and preventive treatment is crucial to avoid the progression...
Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
