Does tb require airborne precautions?

I was reading about this on a health portal. It turns out only active pulmonary (lung) TB requires airborne precautions because the bacteria spread through tiny droplets in the air when coughing. Extra-pulmonary TB, like bone or lymph node TB, generally doesn't spread this way.

Yes, active lung TB spreads through air. While medical precautions like N95 masks are a must, you should also keep the patient's room well-lit with natural sunlight, as UV rays naturally kill TB bacteria. Please make sure they wear a mask when around family.

Yes, active pulmonary TB is strictly airborne. In hospitals, they use negative pressure rooms and N95 masks. If you are managing this at home, keep the patient in a well-ventilated room with open windows, and make sure everyone wears proper masks to avoid infection.

Yes, airborne precautions are necessary for active lung TB. Don't waste time trying to manage it casually. Get N95 masks immediately, isolate the patient in a well-ventilated room, and consult their pulmonologist for specific home care guidelines.
