Tuberculosis (TB) is a widespread and potentially fatal disease caused by //Mycobacterium tuberculosis//. TB usually attacks the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body such as the kidney, spine, and brain. It is transmitted through the air when one individual coughs out the bacteria and other individuals breathe the bacteria in. There are two forms of TB: Latent TB infection and TB disease. Individuals with latent TB infection do not feel sick or show any symptoms and most do not for their entire lives. On the other hand, patients with TB disease are sick and show the symptoms of a terrible cough, bloody cough, loss of appetite, fevers, and chills. One third of the world’s population is infected with TB and is the leading killer of people who are HIV infected.
