This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

In 1982, the global health community sought to accelerate the campaign against tuberculosis with an annual World Tuberculosis Day on March 24. This event first took place 100 years after Robert Koch first visualised the bacillus under his microscope; a diagnostic approach that persists as the mainstay of tuberculosis diagnosis in many places despite being poorly sensitive.
