How is tuberculosis spread in humans?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Droplet infection.

  • Tuberculosis (TB) is a potentially serious infectious disease that mainly affects the lungs.
  • The bacteria that cause tuberculosis are spread from person to person through tiny droplets released into the air via coughs and sneezes.
  • TB disease in the lungs or throat can be infectious. This means that the bacteria can spread to other people. TB in other parts of the body, such as the kidney or spine, is usually not infectious.
