Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis and primarily affects the lungs, but it can also impact other parts of the body. One interesting fact about TB is that it can remain dormant in the body for years without causing symptoms, a condition known as latent TB. Another notable aspect is that TB is one of the leading causes of death from Infectious Diseases worldwide, despite being preventable and treatable with proper medical care.
