How Tuberculosis is passed
The main source of infection is a person who is sick of an open form flowing into the lungs. The causative agent is a koch wand, which stands out with the sputum. Infection of a closed form is rarely, and possibly only with a long use of one kitchenware with sick and overall life. The most common path of mycobacteria from a sick person is a drip. It is almost impossible to infected with handshakes, hugs and touches is almost impossible.
How the tuberculosis is transmitted by air-droplet
It is this form of infection that infects a healthy person. Microscopic koch bacterium is able to be distributed with the discharge of respiratory tract during sneezing and the patient's cough for a distance of more than one meter. To be with an infected person closer than this distance is extremely dangerous.
The air-dust source - the pathogen enters the environment with sputum. Infected discharges dry on furniture, road, clothing and settle in the form of infected dust. Mycobacterium has stable immunity to low temperatures and weather conditions, which gives it the ability to wait for its owner to several weeks.
The penetration of sticks inside the body does not always lead to instant progression of the disease. If a person has a healthy immune system that can give a worthy response of infection, the vital activity of mycobacteria is blocked, and it is in a "sleeping state". But, as soon as the immunity decreases, against the background of such factors, both - stress, HIV, ARZ, diabetes or oncology, the wand instantly activates its viability and begins to develop.
How to pass tuberculosis through touch and food
