What is Tuberculosis?

Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious infection, usually of the lungs, caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This bacteria spreads when you breathe in the air exhaled by a person infected with TB. The bacteria can remain inactive in your body for years.

What are the Symptoms of Tuberculosis?

Did you know that it is possible to carry TB but not have symptoms or transmit it to others? This is called a latent TB infection. However, if left untreated, it can develop into TB disease, which is when it becomes contagious and symptoms arise.

TB symptoms include coughing, loss of appetite and weight loss, night sweats, fever, and chills. Get your PPD skin test today if you think you've been showing symptoms.
