WHO made an announcement in 2015 that TB kills more than 1 million people every year, and these figures tend to be more than HIV and AIDS.

Bacteria cause the disease when an infected person speaks, sneezes, or coughs. However, not everyone infected with the bacteria becomes sick since in the case of latent TB, the bacteria can reside within the body without doing any harm.
