Tuberculosis is primarily a lung disease, but the tubercules can also develop in other places in the body, such as the bones and liver. It's very serious, and while it can often be cured with strong antibiotics, it still can kill people. Especially since there are more drug-resistant strains of TB around, fatalities are on the rise again. Even when the drugs are effective, a cure can take a very long time - up to a couple of years

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection caused by a germ called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The bacteria usually attack the lungs, but they can also damage other parts of the body. TB spreads through the air when a person with TB of the lungs or throat coughs, sneezes or talks. If you have been exposed, you should go to your doctor for tests. You are more likely to get TB if you have a weak immune system. Symptoms of TB in the lungs may include A bad cough that lasts 3 weeks or longer Weight loss Coughing up blood or mucus Weakness or fatigue Fever and chills Night sweats
