What is Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is a disease caused by a germ that invades the body, multiplies, and causes illness. It can attack any part of the body and is commonly known as consumption when it affects the lungs. Early in life exposure can lead to active or dormant infection, with weakened immunity later triggering active disease. Regular physical exams are advised for those in contact with active cases, and prevention through examination is emphasized.
