La tuberculosis es una enfermedad causada por Mycobacterium tuberculosis, una bacteria que casi siempre afecta a los pulmones. Se trata de una enfermedad curable y prevenible.
La infección se transmite de persona a persona a través del aire. Cuando un enfermo de tuberculosis pulmonar tose, estornuda o escupe, expulsa bacilos tuberculosos al aire. Basta con que una persona inhale unos pocos de estos bacilos para quedar infectada1
