La tuberculosis es causada por una bacteria que generalmente ataca los pulmones. Se transmite por el aire de persona a persona. La tuberculosis suele afectar a los pulmones, pero también puede afectar a otras partes del cuerpo, como el cerebro, los riñones o la columna. Una persona con tuberculosis activa puede morir si no recibe tratamiento. Usted puede pertenecer a un grupo de riesgo alto o moderado de tuberculosis si tiene una infección por VIH, ha tenido contacto reciente con una persona con tuberculosis activa o si ha estado recientemente en un país con una alta incidencia de tuberculosis.
