Hello

Tuberculosis is an infection that primarily affects the lungs, resulting in symptoms of coughing and sneezing, among others. The infection is therefore spread most often throughout the air, via droplets that are dispersed when a person coughs and sneezes.Another way to prevent tuberculosis is to be wary of contact surfaces that infected individuals may have sneezed on or touched. Sanitizing common-use areas such as the bathroom, or a frequently touched item such as a doorknob, is a good way to prevent tuberculosis from spreading as well.. If the infection is severe enough, a stay at the hospital may be required.
