Very good information shared - thanks! Tuberculosis used to be a very dreaded disease some decades back and now it has ceased to be so.But it's important to detect it early so that treatment begins at the earliest!
My father's sister was hospitalized in Delhi for this disease. Then I was very small child. She did not allow me come near her in hospital. I felt bad.

Because it is a spreading disease
Tuberculosis is a contagious disease especially if the patient has open cavity . It means the bacterias are more active especially in Lung TB. If the patient has TB of some other part like bone TB or intestine TB then it is not contagious as bacteria will be present inside the body. But in Lung TB bacterias spread while coughing or sneezing and hence it is contagious.
