[Edit]^he beat me to it...yes, the CDC link provides a thorough explaination of TB.

 

It's called Tuberculosis, and its short form-TB-is usually used. It's actually quite different from flu in that TB is a bacterial disease rather than viral; and it's caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, some of the symptoms of the active form of disease include severe coughing which is probably why you are mistaking it for a flu.

 

Unfortunately, this is a disease that's more prevalent in the developing world, increasingly inflicting those who are already suffering from malnutrition and whose immune systems are already compromised.
