Tuberculosis primarily affects lung tissue, as it is most commonly transmitted through the respiratory system. However, it can also impact other tissues and organs, including lymph nodes, bones, kidneys, and the central nervous system, when the bacteria spread beyond the lungs. This extrapulmonary tuberculosis occurs when the immune system fails to contain the infection, allowing it to disseminate throughout the body.
