Tuberculosis (TB) germs spread through the air from one person to another. TB germs can get into the air when someone with active TB disease coughs, speaks, or sings.

Health care providers use a medical evaluation to diagnose inactive tuberculosis (TB) or TB disease.
There are two types of tests for tuberculosis (TB) infection: the TB blood test and the TB skin test. A positive test result for TB infection means you have TB germs in your body. If you test positive for TB infection, your health care provider will do other tests to determine if you have inactive TB (also called latent TB infection) or active TB disease.
Both inactive tuberculosis (TB) (also called latent TB infection) and active TB disease can be treated. It is important to take and finish all TB medicines exactly as your health care provider recommends. Completing treatment for inactive TB and active TB disease can protect yourself, your family and friends, and your community.
