It is primarily an airborne disease. Mycobacteria enter into the human airways through the inhalation of droplet nuclei, i.e., particles containing mycobacteria aerosolized by coughing, sneezing, talking, or singing. Other rare, recognized ways of transmission are the ingestion of cow milk ...
The death rate is associated with the influenza strain: H3N2 subtype causes a higher death toll than H1N1. Children play an important role in spread and transmission dynamics during an influenza wave (winter holidays may delay the peak of an influenza wave)....
Transmission Humans are the only known reservoir for M tuberculosis. The organism is spread primarily as an airborne aerosol from an individual who is in the infectious stage of TB (although transdermal and GI transmission have been reported). In immunocompetent individuals, exposure to M tuberculosi...
In the hospital, the best way to stop the transmission of suspected or confirmed infectious TB disease is to place the patient in a private room with Airborne Precautions instituted and then immediately begin effective TB therapy. Infectiousness declines rapidly after adequate standardized therapy is ...
Infection with tubercle bacilli(TB) occurs via airborne transmission, which involves dissemination of either airborne droplet nuclei on evaporated droplets that may remain suspended in the air for long periods of time. Microorganisms carried in this manner can be dispersed widely by air currents, ...
TB is a highly infectious disease that requires removal of contaminants from the air to prevent airborne transmission of the disease There are two forms of TB: Type M tuberculosis: latent infection and active infection. In mycobacterium tubercle bacteria/Type M (mycobacterium) tuberculosis, only an...
1、Pulmonary TuberculosisTuberculosis, commonly known as TB(short for tubercular bacillus) , is a worldwide contagious(传染性) and an often severeairborne disease caused by various strains ofmycobacteria (分支杆菌), usually Mycobacterium tuberculosis(结核分枝杆菌, MTB for short); typically attacks the...
Many droplet nuclei are capable of floating in the immediate environment for several hours. Large particles may be inhaled by a person breathing the same air and impact on the trachea or wall of the upper airway. The transmission is determined The probability of contact with a case of TB The...

Transmission and Prevention TB is most commonly transmitted through the airborne spread of droplet nuclei produced by infected patients.1 Prompt diagnosis and isolation of infectious patients are the best tools in the prevention of TB.1 ,11 The CDC recommends that all healthcare ...
