Tuberculosis usually attacks the lungs but can also affect the central nervous system, the lymphatic system, the circulatory system, the genitourinary system, the gastrointestinal system, bones, joints, and even the skin.It is very contagious. You can spread tuberculousis by breathing around a person. If you live with a person who has tuberculosis, you need to get a chest X-ray immediatley.
