How many people have tuberculosis because of cigarette since 2011?

Tuberculosis (TB) is from the result of contracting an airborne droplet organism called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is not related to cigarette smoking unless you share a cigarette with someone that has Tuberculosis. The most accurate test for Tuberculosis is a simple skin test that can be done in any hospital or clinic setting and requires 72 hours to read the results. The testing requires 2 visits...the first to get a intradermal injection that feels like a bee-sting and then you return to get the "wheal" read, by touching the site, which is done by a licensed medical professional.

What is the difference between bovine tuberculosis and tuberclosis?

Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a form of tuberculosis (TB) that predominately affects cows, but is a zoonosis so can be transmitted to humans amongst other mammals. All forms of tuberculosis derive from bacteria from the mycobacterium tuberculosis complex; the common form of tuberculosis that affects the majority of the human population is an infection of mycobacterium tuberculosos, whereas bovine tuberculosis is an infection of mycobacterium bovis. Symptoms and effects of both infections are indistinguishable, and therefore treatments consist of the same drugs and for the same period of time.
