Описание:

Tuberculosis, or TB, is a disease that spreads through exposure to infected air. Outside the latent form and active form, only the latter of which is contagious since in the former the bacteria is contained and the person who has it has no symptoms, it can show as miliary tuberculosis which tends to happen after latent becomes active, cavitary where the lungs get damage from the active bacteria, Pott's disease which affects the spinal column and rib cage growth, meningitis if it gets into the nervous system, or scrofula which shows tumors in the lymph nodes like with plague.
