A weakened immune system is the key cause of tuberculosis prevalence. According to the Central for Diseases Control and Prevention, around one-fourth of the world's population is infected with TB. Further, TB is a vastly prevalent disease among people affected by HIV. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2017, 10 million people suffered from TB around the globe. Treatments such as biological agents or chemotherapy that weaken the immune system further increases the chances of contracting tuberculosis.
