Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, primarily affecting the lungs but can also impact other parts of the body. It spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes, releasing tiny droplets that contain the bacteria. Symptoms may include a persistent cough, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Effective treatment typically involves a long course of antibiotics, and prevention measures include vaccination and public health interventions.
