INITIATE360_Tuberculosis-Overview

Tuberculosis, or TB Disease, was once the leading cause of death in the United States. It is caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis that usually attack the lungs as well as any part of the body such as the kidney, spine, and brain. It can be fatal if not treated properly.

TB is spread through the air from one person to another. When a person breathes in TB bacteria, it can settle in the lungs and begin to grow. TB in the lungs can be infectious. That's why people with active TB disease are most likely to spread it to people they spend time with everyday.
