It depends on the patient, the patient's condition, and the extent of the condition. Tuberculosis is a disease while pneumonia is a result of disease.
Tuberculosis is definitely the more serious disease, is communicable, and can cause significant lung damage. However, mild cases of tuberculosis are often treated with little long-term effect. Pneumonia, while often treatable, can develop from several sources and in fact can be fatal. While neither is preferable, pneumonia would usually be the less severe health problem for an otherwise healthy adult.
