Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious disease that affects the lungs and can spread to other organs. It is passed from person to person by air through coughing, sneezing, laughing, or even singing.

 

Young children, older adults, and people with health conditions are at higher risk for TB.

 

TB can be prevented, treated, and cured. If left untreated, TB causes severe illness and death. Learn more about who should be tested for TB.
