Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by bacteria that usually attacks the lungs but can affect other parts of the body as well. It is most commonly spread through the air when people who are sick with pulmonary TB expel bacteria through coughs, sneezes or spit. Left untreated, each person with active TB disease will infect on average between 10 to 15 people each year.
