Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body. TB is easily transmitted from person to person through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, talks or even spits. This is because the TB bacteria can be suspended in the air in tiny droplets, called aerosols, for several hours and can be inhaled by someone else.
Several factors contribute to the ease with which TB is transmitted. These include:
To prevent the spread of TB, it is important to identify and treat infected individuals as early as possible. This can involve screening for TB infection and providing appropriate treatment to those who test positive. Additionally, measures such as good ventilation and wearing a mask can help reduce the risk of transmission in certain settings.
