People with active tuberculosis are often unaware they have the disease and may be contagious for several months before being diagnosed. TB is transmitted from person to person through indoor air during prolonged contact with an infectious person. Most people who are exposed to TB do not become infected.
"Symptoms of active TB include persistent cough, fever, night sweats and unexplained weight loss," said Dr. Ankita Kadakia, county deputy public health officer. "Most people who become infected after exposure to tuberculosis do not get sick right away. This is called latent TB infection," she said."Some who become infected with tuberculosis will become ill in the future, sometimes even years later, if their latent TB infection is not treated. Blood tests and skin tests are effective to determine whether someone has been infected."
