TB is treatable, but not curable. Pneumonia is treatable and curable. Both are diseases of the lungs and life threatening if untreated. Just use your search engine and type in the Tb or Pneumonia. There is a wealth of information on the internet and you should be able to find out about both diseases this way. Also, you could use the Centers for Disease Control website. Just punch it in under your search engine. I would think that their info would be up to date and more accurate.

Pneumonia is a general term for any lung infection caused by a variety of pathogens (bacteria,virus,fungus,parasites)Tuberculosis (TB) is a very specific type of infection caused by a unique bacteria called mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tb may occasionally spread outside the lung affecting almost any other part of the body. Special testing in a lab is required to prove that someone has tb.

Never look at Wikipedia for that kind of thing. Good grief, this is so simple. Just look up each disease. Come on. Look at the Mayo Clinic, PDR Health, WedMD. Two TOTALLY different diseases. You won't learn this if you don't do it yourself.

TB is curable, and pheumonia. I just looked it up online. There are many, many sites that say it is curable.
I keyed in.."Is TB curable?"...try that or www.gov.nu.ca/asssite/tb.shtml I think I copied that right. Google is a great site to look things up on.
Anyway, you look online and you will find it.
