  Abstract


The study examine about the Tuberculosis (TB) and leprosy are two serious diseases and it mostly effect on old age means they will get the peak leavel of danger stage like already they are having another physical issues because of age and Serious illnesses like leprosy and tuberculosis (TB) still plague a large number of elderly individuals. The majority of senior TB patients relapse because, as their immune systems deteriorate with age, long-suppressed infections in their bodies reactivate. Older persons have a higher chance of dying since their symptoms are frequently ambiguous, making diagnosis challenging. Treatment failure may result from the inability of many older individuals to complete the lengthy course of TB medications.The elderly are still susceptible to leprosy. It is still prevalent in older age groups, despite a general decline in new occurrences The more severe (multibacillary) form of leprosy affects many elderly individuals, who also experience various health issues and physical impairments. Additionally, they are more likely to experience side effects, particularly in the initial months of treatment.Both illnesses have comparable effects on older people's day-to-day lives. They result in impairments, physical weakness, and a need for assistance with everyday tasks. Life is made even more difficult by social shame, loneliness, anxiety, and sadness. Leprosy and tuberculosis together diminish quality of life and independence in old age. To help older persons live with dignity, early detection, appropriate treatment, emotional support, and community care are crucial.
