Tuberculosis - TB is short for tubercle bacillus. Mycobacteria attack the lungs but can also attack the central nervous system, gastrointestinal system bones and joints. It is usually characterised by coughing up blood, fever and weight loss. It is an air born disease. Screening and vaccines (BCG) are the usual way of combating it, antibiotics are becoming less effective. Traditionally X rays are taken in infected areas as the scarring on the lungs will show up.
