TB is short for tuberculosis. TB disease develops from TB infection. People don’t know they have TB infection unless they have been tested for TB. TB is a serious disease that can cause a person to become very sick if not treated with medicine. TB usually affects the lungs, but it sometimes affects other parts of the body. Every year there are fewer and fewer cases of tuberculosis, but it is still a threat that has not gone away. To learn more click here.
