Is tb an infection?

My neighbour's child was diagnosed with TB recently and I overheard someone saying it's an infection. I'm a bit worried since my kids play with them. Is it true that TB is an infection?

Yes, absolutely it's an infection! 🦠 It's caused by bacteria, so it definitely counts! Hope that helps clear things up! 😊

Haan, it's an infection. Ek aur cheez jo mereko raat ko sone nahi deti. But seriously, yes, bacteria cause it. So it's an infection.

Hey! Yes, TB is totally an infection. It's caused by bacteria, so don't stress too much about the terminology, just know it needs proper treatment. How are you doing otherwise?

Ho na, TB is an infection. Bacteria se hota hai. So it's very important to follow the doctor's full course of medicines. Take care, okay?
