TB is curable. All services are free and confidential.
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infection caused by bacteria. It mainly affects the lungs, but it can affect any part of the body, including lymph nodes (glands), bones and the brain causing meningitis. TB is spread when a person with TB in their lungs or throat coughs or sneezes.
