Bastion Lighting Colour Red on March 24, 2026 for World Tuberculosis Day

Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious, treatable bacterial infection, usually of the lungs, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It spreads through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks, but most infections are latent (inactive), meaning the bacteria are present but don't cause symptoms and can't spread, while active TB causes illness, symptoms (like chronic cough, fever, weight loss), and can be contagious. While preventable and curable with long-term antibiotics, it remains a major global health concern. The date marks the day in 1882 when Dr. Robert Koch announced that he had discovered the bacterium that causes TB, which opened the way towards diagnosing and curing this disease.
