Overview

Tuberculosis is a contagious bacterial infection of the lungs that is spread through the inhalation of airborne particles. It is a serious health concern, particularly in developing countries, and is estimated to cause almost 2 million deaths worldwide each year. Treatment typically involves a long-term course of antibiotics, although other therapies may be used if necessary. Vaccines are also available to help prevent the spread of the disease. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to helping protect against serious health complications and can reduce transmission.
