Tuberculosis is transmitted through infected saliva particles that leave a person's mouth when they cough. Coughing into ones hand, touching someone else, and that person touching their nose or mouth could transmit the disease. Tuberculosis is also airborne, meaning if you cough near someone, those particles could affect that person without you directly touching them as well.

Can a fully cured TB patient be suspected to have latent TB?
Yes, it is possible that a person previously diagnosed with active TB and was completely cured be suspected to haveÊlatent TB. Aside from the medicine that cured the patient of active TB, there is also a high chance that the body's immune system has controlled the infection but unable to completely remove it from the body. Hence, the infection remains in the body, lying in an inactive or latent state.
How does the body defends itself against the TB bacteria?
The immune system attacks the foreign antigen as if it were any bacterial infection. The B-cell lymphocytes mark the TB with antibodies that helps it remember the bacteria in the future. The macrophage then consumes the TB bacteria and keeps it latent, and the TB is unable to infect the body or be contagious. However, if the immune system fails to contain the TB, or it becomes weakened by age, malnutrition or another disease like AIDS, the TB bacteria can escape and infect the body, which is why people can get TB during old age or without a TB infected person coming in contact with them.
How is TB transmitted?
Bacteria that cause TB are usually transmitted by coughs, sneezes, or small particles of moisture sprayed from an infected person's mouth while speaking. These small particles may contain very few bacteria, but if they are inhaled into another person's lungs and multiply, that person may contract TB. The bacteria may also enter the body through skin wounds, including tattoos and body piercings with unsterilized insturments. Via droplet infection
