Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis is commonly known as "pulmonary dysentery". It is a chronic infectious disease with strong contagion caused by the invasion of tuberculosis into the human body.

More than 90% of tuberculosis infections are transmitted through the respiratory tract. Patients with tuberculosis cough, sneeze, and make loud noises, causing droplets of tuberculosis bacteria to spray out of the body, and inhaling them to become infected.
