About Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
It usually affects the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body including the brain, bones or kidneys.
People with tuberculosis can carry the bacteria for months or years without becoming sick because their immune system keeps it under control – this is called tuberculosis infection.
When the bacteria multiply and the immune system can no longer control the infection, symptoms appear and the infection can spread to others – this is called tuberculosis disease.
