Answers:

Tuberculosis (commonly shortened to TB) is an infection caused by the bacterium 'Mycobacterium tuberculosis', which most commonly affects the lungs (pulmonary TB) but can also affect the central nervous system (meningitis), lympathic system, circulatory system, genitourinary system, bones, and joints.

Tuberculosis is one of the most deadly and common major infectious diseases today, infecting two billion people or one third of the world's population. Nine million new cases of the disease, resulting in two million deaths occur annualy, mostly in developing countries.
