Description:Up to 13 million people in the United States may have inactive TB (also called latent TB infection). Without treatment, 1 in 10 people with inactive TB will get sick with active TB disease, and can spread TB to others through the air. You can help prevent the spread of TB.
Tuberculosis, or TB disease, is highly contagious and can be deadly. TB germs can live in your body for years without causing symptoms. This is called inactive TB or latent TB infection. Without treatment, inactive TB can become active TB disease at any time and make you sick. Once TB becomes active, it can spread from person to person through the air. Getting tested and treated for inactive TB can protect yourself, your family and friends, and your community.
