How does a person contract tb?

Tuberculosis is an airborne bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs. It spreads when you spend prolonged time in close, poorly ventilated spaces with someone who has active untreated TB. If you have a persistent cough for over two weeks, consulting a doctor for a sputum test is highly recommended.

Yeh bimari hawa ke jariye phailti hai jab koi TB ka mareez khasta hai. Agar kisi ko do hafte se zyada khansi ho, toh turant sarkari hospital jaakar jaanch karwani chahiye. Wahan iska ilaaj bilkul muft hota hai.

I actually had lung TB last year. You get it simply by breathing in the bacteria from an infected person's cough. It took me 6 months of strict daily course of medicines to cure it completely. It's fully curable, so don't worry.

Look, it is not a hereditary disease, it's a bacterial infection that spreads through the air when an infected person sneezes or talks. Keep your windows open for fresh air and don't sit close to someone who is constantly coughing. Go to a doctor if you are showing symptoms like weight loss or night sweats.

It's an airborne bacteria that hitchhikes into your lungs when someone with active TB sneezes near you. Don't worry, you won't get it just by walking past someone on the street. Just wash your hands, wear a mask in super crowded places, and you're good!

Basically, if you breathe in the same air as someone who has active TB and is coughing, you can catch the bacteria. Our college hostel rooms are so cramped that we have to be really careful. If you have a bad cough that isn't going away, just get it checked out.
