TB is a lung infection caused by bacteria (Mycobacterim tuberculosis). It can affect other parts of the body, but usually results in a chronic cough that can be associated with bloody sputum. About one-third of the world's population has been infected with TB, although most are not active forms of the disease. If left untreated, an active form of the disease can lead to death. It is mostly spread to others by respiratory droplets
