person to person
through the air.
When people with
lung TB cough,
sneeze or spit, they
propel the TB germs
into the air. A person
needs to inhale only
a few of these germs
to become infected.

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT

TUBERCULOSIS
About one-third of
the world's
population has
latent TB, which
means people
have been
infected by TB

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT

TUBERCULOSIS
People infected with TB
bacteria have a 10%
lifetime risk of falling ill
with TB. However, persons
with compromised immune
systems, such as people
living with HIV, malnutrition
or diabetes, or people who
use tobacco, have a much
higher risk of falling ill.

GREATER RISK WITH HIV

INFECTION
When a person develops active TB disease,
the symptoms (cough, fever, night sweats,
weight loss etc.) may be mild for many
months. This can lead to delays in seeking
care, and results in transmission of the
bacteria to others. People with active TB can
infect 10-15 other people through close
contact over the course of a year. Without
proper treatment, 45% of HIV-negative
people with TB on average and nearly all

THINGS WHICH CAN STOP THE

SPREAD OF TB
You can prevent TB
from spreading out by
covering your mouth
while coughing and
sneezing. Windows
should be kept open
and the flow of fresh air
should be allowed. And
the treatment should
also be carried out till
the end and medication
should be continued

WHY WE CONTINUE TO
CELEBRATE WORLD TB DAY
World TB Day celebration provides a big opportunity
to all the people to get aware about the causes and
precautions of TB. It mobilizes the political and social
authorities for further progress towards the disease
prevention for the effective reduction in the TB cases
and death rate in the coming years. Since 1990, the
mortality rate of TB has decreased by 40% all over the
world. Invention of various new TB tools has occurred
for rapid diagnostic tests of TB. All this have become
possible only because of this awareness campaig n.
