Hi, Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum.
Tuberculosis is a Bacterial Infection caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis organism. It can affect lungs, brain, bones and spine. The Lung infection usually spreads from close contacts with infected person, through droplets in the air which come out when a infected person sneezes or coughs. The risk factor is poor hygienic conditions or with decreased immunity.
