Question

question 9 of 12
true or false: a patient with latent tb is just as likely to spread disease as someone with active tb.
true
false

Explanation:

Latent TB means the tuberculosis bacteria are in the body but not causing active disease or symptoms, and people with latent TB are not contagious (can't spread the disease). In contrast, active TB is when the bacteria are causing illness and can spread the disease through airborne droplets. So a patient with latent TB is not as likely to spread the disease as someone with active TB. Thus, the statement is false.

Answer:

False
