Definition
- Tuberculosis (TB) is a curable disease that affects the respiratory system. It kills approximately 1.6 million people per year and is returning, partly due to increased travel and migration opportunities, to those Western countries where it had been thought to be eradicated. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Health; Tuberculosis]
