What Causes TB. Tuberculosis is an infection caused by bacteria. It's spread through the airâwhen an infected person coughs, sneezes, laughs, etc. However, it is not easy to become infected with tuberculosis. Usually a person has to be close to someone with TB disease for a long period of time.

In 2005, 8.8 million people developed active TB and 1.6 million died of the disease [4]. Most cases occur in Southeast Asia and Africa.
