MODEL RELEASED. Tuberculosis examination. Doctor using a stethoscope to examine the lungs of a child suspected of having tuberculosis (TB). TB is an infectious disease caused in humans by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The bacteria enter the lungs on airborne droplets and multiply there,resulting in symptoms including chest pain and coughing. Complications may be fatal. In a small percentage of cases,the infection spreads to the lymphatic system. This may also be fatal. TB is treated with antibiotic drugs,though drug- resistant strains have consequently emerged.
