Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious and contagious disease caused by various strains of Mycobacterium and the foremost leading cause of death of animal and human population worldwide. Currently available conventional and modern diagnostic techniques are useful but they are neither rapid nor cost effective for early and accurate diagnosis, represents a cornerstone to eradicate TB worldwide by 2030. To overcome this awful situation an innovative strategy i.e. nanotechnology is helpful for early diagnosis of tuberculosis in short time with increased sensitivity and specificity through nano sized biomolecular interaction viz. enhanced visualization of fluorescent signals, visual colorimetric signals of amplified DNA product, nanofluidic technology, nuclear magnetic resonance technology (NMR) and prototype miniaturized device etc. Nanotechnology has introduced new paradigms for molecular diagnostics. However, some constraints of nanodiagnostic tool still there that make obstacle in its worldwide diagnostic use for TB.

Nanoparticles can be tagged with suitable ligands and can be functionalized with various lectins to make more effective Poly-DL-Lactide-co-glycolide (PLG) nanoparticle uptake [4,5].…”

Nanotechnology has been believed for many years ago to offer new methods for both diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis which is globally infectious disease burden in many countries, especially in developing and under-developing countries. Nanotechnological diagnosis of tuberculosis is expected to cost cheaper than many currently available diagnostic tools. Many researches are currently ongoing in the field of synthetic carriers for antituberculosis chemotherapy both oral and inhaled routes while the potentially curative drugs are available for over 50 years.
