Tuberculosis (TB) is a potentially serious infectious bacterial disease that mainly affects the lungs. It is caused by bacteria that spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. While most people infected do not show symptoms, active TB can cause cough, sometimes with blood, weight loss, night sweats and fever. Treatment requires a long course of antibiotics prescribed by a medical professional. India has over 1 million new cases of TB per year.
