This is taken from a book called 'Family Health, Medical Encyclopedia' by Collins: "Tuberculosis. a communicable disease resulting from infection by the tubercle bacillus,Mycobacterium tuberculosis, of which there are four types - human,bovine, avian and piscine; only the first two usually affect man." (page 481) it goes on to mention pulmonary tuberculosis,(affects lungs), plus...tuberculosis meningitis(nervous system). It's 3 pages long, but if you need more you'll have to get back in touch
