https://doi.org/10.51922/2074-5044.2026.1.79
Abstract
Due to tuberculosis, military personnel are included in the occupational risk group. The compact barracks, shared sanitary and hygiene conditions, potential exposure in endemic areas, and the stressful activities during field exercises and military operations all increase the risk of tuberculosis occurrence and spread among personnel. Additionally, wars are one of the factors that promote the spread of infectious diseases [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].
