  Course #WB2556
  
  In this module, you will learn about the history of tuberculosis (TB), how TB is spread from person to person (transmission), and how TB disease develops in the body (pathogenesis). Our understanding of the transmission and pathogenesis of TB has guided us in developing strategies for controlling the spread of TB and for treating latent TB infection (LTBI) and TB disease. As a public health worker, it is important to understand these concepts so that you can educate the patients you serve.
