It's #WorldTBDay.

Tuberculosis is caused by a type of bacteria that spread through the air when people with TB cough, sneeze or spit. It mainly affects the lungs, but can also impact other parts of the body.

Seek medical attention if you have symptoms like:
🔸prolonged cough
🔸fever
🔸unexplained weight loss

Early TB treatment can help stop the spread of disease and improve your chances of recovery.

Contact your health provider if you:
🔸show symptoms
🔸are a close contact of a person with TB
🔸are at high risk of getting sick with TB. If you are living with HIV, get tested for TB.
