Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health concern, necessitating effective control strategies. This article presents a mathematical model to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of medical mask usage and case detection in TB control. The model is constructed as a system of ordinary differential equations and incorporates crucial aspects of TB dynamics, including slow-fast progression, medical mask use, case detection, treatment interventions and differentiation between symptomatic and asymptomatic cases. A key objective of TB control is to ensure that the reproduction number,
