4. How TB spread?
• TB is spread through the air when a person with
untreated pulmonary TB coughs, sneezes,
laughs or sings. TB germs get into the air and
can remain there for several hours. People who
are living, working or spending a lot of time
sharing the same air space with that person may
breathe in these germs and get infected. People
at highest risk of becoming infected are close
contacts - those individuals who have prolonged,
frequent, or intense contact with a person with
infectious tuberculosis.

6. What is the difference between TB disease and
latent TB infection (LTBI)?
• People with TB disease are sick from bacteria that are
active in their body. They usually have one or more of
the symptoms of TB, and are often able to give the
infection to others.
• When people have the bacteria in their body, but are not
sick because the germs are inactive, they have what is
called “Latent TB.” These people do not have any
obvious symptoms and cannot spread the infection to
others. However, people with latent TB may develop
active TB disease in the future.
