All things equal, TB is "worse." However, there are some variables here. You don't mention the form of pneumonia. Is it viral, bacterial, fungal, aspiratory, mycoplasmal, etc. You also don't include the severity of each and the patients medical history and preexisting conditions. TB is the MOST COMMON bacterial respiratory disease in the WORLD. It is also extremely contagious in 98% of cases. But what I want to emphasize the most is since TB is bacterial, we have medications that are usually effective in treating TB unless the TB is "drug-resistant." Most bacterial infections are "curable." On the other hand, some forms of pneumonia are "treatable" but may not be "curable." Feel free to contact me for additional assistance. PS. Bubba's answer is absolutely correct
