Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most common infections in the world. About 2 billion people are infected with TB and nearly 3 million people are killed by it each year. In Canada, there are about 1,600 new cases of TB every year. Tuberculosis is a bacterial disease where there is a growth of nodules in the tissues of the body. Most commonly tuberculosis invades the tissues of the lungs.

Those suffering from tuberculosis will often have a cough that last for three or more weeks, cough up blood on occasion, have unintentional weight loss, fever, fatigue and/or night sweats. These symptoms can make it very difficult to perform daily activities. Only people who have active TB infections can spread the TB bacteria. Coughing, sneezing, even talking can release the bacteria into the surrounding air, and people breathing this air can then become infected. This is more likely to happen if you're living in close quarters with someone who has TB or if a room isn't well ventilated.
