Tuberculosis, or TB, is a bacterial infection that most often affects the lungs but can affect several other organs. Chronic cough with sputum is the most common symptom of tuberculosis affecting the lungs (pulmonary tuberculosis). Not all people infected by the tuberculosis bacteria develop TB. In a large number of cases the bacteria lies silent causing no symptoms at all. But such latent infection can become active when immunity is lowered. TB was at one point of time though t o be a disease of the past, but the problem has recently resurfaced in an even more serious form called multi-drug resistant TB.
