The specific disease you are referring to is called Tuberculosis (TB). TB is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which infects the lungs of humans and other animals. It is spread through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or spits. Symptoms include coughing, fever, fatigue, weight loss, and night sweats. Treatment for TB typically involves taking antibiotics for several months, along with lifestyle changes such as improving nutrition and quitting smoking.
