TB tricks one's immune system to spread it among others

Washington D.C. [USA], Oct. 21 : A new study suggests that tuberculosis (TB) tricks the immune system into attacking the body's lung tissue so that the bacteria are allowed to spread to other people.

The concept, as per the University of Southampton research, proposes that current ideas about how tuberculosis develops in patients may be incomplete and that, in fact, infection causes autoimmunity, where the immune system reacts incorrectly to its own tissue.

Tuberculosis kills more people than any other infectious disease, and the causative bacterium, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics used to treat the infection.
