Answer 1

Tuberculosis (abbreviated as TB for Tubercle Bacillus) is a common and deadly infectious disease caused by the mycobacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis or Mycobacterium bovis, which most commonly affects the lungs (pulmonary TB) but can also affect the central nervous system, lymphatic system, circulatory system, genitourinary system, bones, joints, and even the skin.

Answer 2

Tuberculosis is a bacterial disease affecting the lungs in the majority of cases. It is caused by the Koch bacillus. Symptoms are persistent cough, bloody sputum and general weakness and anemia. It used to be treated with streptomycin, pneumothorax and rest and sunbaths in the famous Swiss clinics and was almost eradicated in the fifties. But lately an antibiotic resistant variety reappeared. If untreated the disease is fatal in the long run.
