Tuberculosis (TB) is a potentially serious infectious disease that mainly affects your lungs. The bacteria that cause tuberculosis are spread from one person to another through tiny droplets released into the air via coughs and sneezes. Since the 1980s, the spread of tuberculosis has increased dramatically because of the spread of HIV, as well as antibiotic resistance which has developed against the drug. Most cases of TB are latent thus asymptomatic, but in their active state, TB bacteria cause death of tissue in the organs they infect, namely the lungs. Symptoms include chest pain, coughing up blood, chills, and fever. Active TB disease can be fatal if left untreated.
