title: [Tuberculosis, a contagious disease].
abstract: Despite the marked fall in the number of cases of tuberculosis in France, the disease remains a public health issue due to its contagiousness and the current emergence of forms resistant to classic antituberculotics. Prevention and the systematic screening of the people close to the patient help to control the spread of the disease.
