Tuberculosis is a potentially serious infectious disease that mainly affects the lungs and is spread through tiny droplets released into the air via coughs and sneezes. Symptoms include coughing, weight loss, and fever. While TB usually affects the lungs, it can affect other parts of the body as well. Diagnosis involves a skin test or blood test. Treatment requires taking multiple drug therapies for several months to prevent the development of drug-resistant strains of the bacteria.
