TB Cases Rise in US, Including Maine and California

Tuberculosis, or TB, is a serious disease that's spreading in some parts of the US.

It's caused by bacteria and mainly affects the lungs, but it can spread to other parts of the body.

In Maine, there are a few active cases, and there's also a case in a California high school, and another in a Michigan high school.

TB spreads through the air and is very contagious.

While it's not as easily spread as the flu, it's still the world's deadliest infectious disease.

The Maine CDC is contacting people who may have come into contact with infected patients.

If you have TB, you may have a cough, fever, and chest pain.
