Some people assume that there are some conditions that seem to be the same. This is the case with tuberculosis and pneumonia. One of the main differences between the two is how contagious the conditions are.

Tuberculosis is known to be contagious, which means that people should not come in contact with those who have the condition or would need to wear protective gear so that they will not be affected.

Pneumonia is not contagious. Another difference between the two is the rate of time that it will take before the symptoms start to appear. For those who have tuberculosis, the symptoms may appear over time, but for those who have pneumonia, the onset of symptoms may be sudden.
