World TB Day is held on March 24 every year. This particular day commemorates when Dr Robert Koch announced that he had discovered the cause of tuberculosis in 1882.
In 1982 the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (IUATLD) proposed this day to be proclaimed the official World TB Day. World TB Day focuses on raising awareness about this disease.
Tuberculosis is a common infectious disease caused mainly by Mycobacterium tuberculosis which usually attacks the lungs, but can also affect the central nervous system, the circulatory system, joints, and more. Tuberculosis is spread through the air. One third of the world's current population have been infected. New infections occur at a rate of one per second.
