What is Understanding Tuberculosis: Key Facts about?

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious bacterial disease that primarily affects the lungs. It is transmitted through airborne droplets when people with active pulmonary or laryngeal TB cough, sneeze, or spit. Common symptoms include cough, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. TB is diagnosed through sputum culture, chest x-ray, or tuberculin skin test. While treatment requires taking multiple antibiotics for 6-9 months, TB is curable and most people with active TB are not confined to the hospital.
