While it mainly affects the lungs, it can also affect the heart, brain, and spine. TB is spread through the air by particles that come out of a sick person&#8217;s cough or sneeze. TB can be prevented and treated, but it still poses a significant health risk because of late diagnoses, poor access to healthcare, and drug resistance. Many countries celebrate <\/span>International Tuberculosis Day<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and National TB Day to bring attention to how important it is to control this disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two primary categories can define TB infections:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Latent TB:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The body hosts the bacteria, but they do nothing, hence no symptoms show.
