Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB) is an airborne, communicable disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. According to the CDC Division of Tuberculosis Elimination, each year nearly 9 million people around the world become sick with TB. Law-based interventions to control TB, in use for more than a century, remain highly relevant today. CDC, in cooperation with the National Tuberculosis Controllers Association and other partners, has developed and facilitated development of a portfolio of law-related resources to prevent and control the spread of TB.
