Is tb airborne?
My uncle had TB a long time ago, and everyone was very careful not to get too close to him. Is TB airborne? Does it spread through the air when someone coughs or sneezes?

Yes, TB is airborne. It spreads when someone with active lung TB coughs or sneezes. So, good ventilation is important. If you suspect anything, don't delay a check-up.

That's correct, TB transmission is primarily airborne. It's not like touching things, but from breathing in the air where an active TB patient has expelled bacteria. Good ventilation helps reduce the risk.

Haan ji, airborne hi hota hai. Jab koi cough kare ya chheenk de, tabhi spread hota hai. Isliye mask pehenna aur door rehna important hai agar kisi ko active TB ho.

I was also researching this a while back! Apparently, it does spread through the air when an infected person talks or coughs. Scary, right? But good to know how to be careful.

Yes, it is airborne. My aunt had it, and the doctors explained that tiny droplets from coughing or sneezing can hang in the air. So being careful with ventilation and masks around an infected person is important.

Yes, TB is an airborne disease. It spreads via respiratory droplets. So maintaining distance and ensuring proper air circulation can help. However, for a complete understanding and guidance, always consult a medical professional.
