TUBERCULOSIS - PARAGRAPH 10


TB is an airborne infection disease caused by the bacillus Mycobacterium. It typically affects the lungs called pulmonary TB. The disease can affect other sites called extra-pulmonary TB. Tuberculosis is spread when sick people with pulmonary TB expel bacteria by coughing, sneezing, and spitting. A person with active pulmonary TB, but untreated tuberculosis can be expected to infect 10-15 people per year. Also, TB is the second leading cause of death from an infectious disease worldwide after HIV.
