Tuberculosis is an air-borne disease, which is easily spreads when the infected person coughs. As coughing spreads germs in the air and these
germs remain suspended in air until inhaled by person present in promixity of the patient who is suffering from the disease. That is why we should
avoid standing close to a TB patient.
