Development of tuberculosis and recommendations for prevention are important global awareness. Tuberculosis results from mycobacterium tuberculosis. Development of tuberculosis may result in the release of tiny particles containing M. Tb into the air by coughing, sneezing, laughing, or sneezing. Also, these particles are known as air droplet nuclei. Besides, they are invisible to the naked eye. Furthermore, droplet nuclei can remain airborne in a room for many hours. Therefore, there are several recommendations for prevention of tuberculosis. In general, work practice and administrative control measures have the greatest impact on preventing TB transmission within a hospital setting. Consequently, these measures prevent droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis from generating in a facility. Nevertheless, creating awareness of signs and symptoms of tuberculosis may help identify and control TB patients.

CAUSES, RISK, AND DEVELOPMENT OF TUBERCULOSIS
Tuberculosis is an infection, primarily in the lungs resulting from mycobacterium tuberculosis. Besides, development of tuberculosis spreads usually from person to person by breathing air with M. Tb infection during close contact. Therefore, when the immune system with dormant TB becomes weak, the TB becomes active. Moreover, it can cause infection in the lungs or other parts of the body. Hence, the risk factors for acquiring TB include close contact, alcohol, and drug abuse. Consequently, the many risk factors call for several recommendations for prevention and control measures. Nevertheless, the most common risk diseases include diabetes, cancer, and HIV. Additionally, occupations such as health care workers are susceptible to affection. Therefore, examining signs and symptoms of tuberculosis is essential for the pre-diagnosis of TB.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PREVENTION OF TUBERCULOSIS
New WHO guidance will help countries accelerate efforts to development of tuberculosis. Estimation shows that a quarter of the world’s population has TB bacteria infection. These people are neither sick nor contagious. However, they are at greater risk of developing TB disease, especially those with weak immunity. Therefore, WHO recommends a new short option for preventive treatment in addition to the daily isoniazid. Furthermore, WHO recommendations for prevention include a scale-up of TB preventive treatment among populations at high risk. Additionally, all household contacts of TB patients and people living with HIV require screening for active TB. Besides, regardless of the results, they should receive initiation on TB preventive treatment. Ultimately, those with signs and symptoms of tuberculosis should maintain considerable isolation from people.
