Tuberculosis (TB) Testing
Tuberculosis, or TB, is a highly contagious disease. It is spread when an actively infected person coughs, sneezes or exhales into the air. It normally impacts the lungs but can affect other parts of the body too. TB can be deadly without appropriate treatment. ATCPHD's TB Program provides education, monitoring, testing and treatment of TB.
