It is spread through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. The bacteria can be inhaled by people who are nearby.<\/p>\n<p>Tuberculosis can affect any part of the body, but it most commonly affects the lungs. Symptoms of tuberculosis can include a cough that lasts for more than two weeks, chest pain, fatigue, weight loss, and night sweats.<\/p>\n<p>If left untreated, tuberculosis can be fatal. However, it is a treatable disease. Treatment usually involves a combination of antibiotics that are taken for several months.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Infectious: A disease that can be spread from one person to another is called an infectious disease. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease.<\/li>\n<li>Contiguous: A disease that can be spread through direct contact with an infected person or animal is called a contiguous disease. Tuberculosis is not a contiguous disease.<\/li>\n<li>Fatal: A disease that can cause death is called a fatal disease. Tuberculosis can be fatal, but it is not always fatal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Infectious&#8221; option2=&#8221;Contiguous&#8221; option3=&#8221;Fatal&#8221;
