Oswaldo Juarez, a 19-year-old student in Florida, had been feeling ill for a few weeks. Then, on a fall night in 2007, he began to cough up blood. As he looked at the red stain in his sink, he thought he might be dying. He raced to a doctor to have tests done to find out what was wrong with him.
Then came the terrible news. Oswaldo had tuberculosis, or TB—a disease that kills more than one million people on Earth every year. How does this killer disease spread to so many people? Look inside to find out more about Oswaldo and other victims of tuberculosis. You’ll also discover what causes the dangerous illness, how it affects the body, and—most important—how to protect yourself from it in the first place.
