TB

 

Tuberculosis is a disease caused by an infection with the bacteria ‘mycobacterium’.

TB can damage a person’s lungs and other parts of the body causing serious illness.

Symptoms may be similar to other chronic illnesses, so specific testing is crucial. Once diagnosed, TB can be treated with antibiotics.
