Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by a bacterium that usually affects the lungs but can affect any part of the body such as the kidneys, lymph nodes, bones, joints, brain, and spine. Not everyone infected with TB bacteria gets sick. As a result, there are two conditions: latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and tuberculosis disease. Both conditions can be treated. Without treatment, LTBI can progress to TB disease. If not treated, TB disease can be fatal.

The goal of the Tuberculosis Control Program is to decrease the incidence of TB in Monroe County through effective screening, conduct contact investigations, and assign a case manager to every person with TB disease to assure coordination of care and treatment completion, health education, outreach to those at risk and appropriate treatment.
