Tuberculosis, or TB, is a bacterial infection of the lungs that can be fatal. The World Health Organization estimates 1.5 million people died of the disease worldwide in 2020.

Scrofula, also called cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis, is a type of tuberculosis infection.It's caused by the same bacteria that causes pulmonary tuberculosis (TB).

These experiments showed that the TB bacterium doesn’t follow expected patterns of cell growth. In other bacterial species, growth is exponential, which means cells grow slower when they are smaller.

Tuberculosis is once again the infectious disease responsible for the most deaths worldwide, according to a Tuesday announcement from the World Health Organization. Here's what you need to know.
