The main tool for the detection of "cases" of tuberculosis is 1. Sputum examination.

Explanation of Each Option:

  1. Sputum examination: This is the primary method for diagnosing active pulmonary tuberculosis. Sputum samples are collected and examined for the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis through microscopy (e.g., acid-fast bacilli staining) and culture methods. It is considered the gold standard for confirming active TB cases.

  2. Mantoux test: Also known as the tuberculin skin test, this test is used to determine if a person has been exposed to the tuberculosis bacteria. However, it does not diagnose active TB; rather, it indicates whether a person has been infected with the bacteria at some point.

  3. Chest X-ray: While chest X-rays are important for identifying lung abnormalities associated with tuberculosis and can support the diagnosis, they are not definitive for detecting the bacteria itself. They are often used in conjunction with sputum examination.
