Article Excerpts about Latent tuberculosis
It is possible and very common to be infected with TB and not have TB
disease. In most people who breathe in TB bacteria and become infected,
the body is able to fight the bacteria to stop them from growing. The
bacteria become inactive, but they remain alive in the body and can become
active later. This is called TB infection. (Source: excerpt from Tuberculosis: NWHIC)
