What can be done to prevent the spread of tuberculosis

Condition analysis:
The most important way to stop the spread of tuberculosis is to promptly identify and treat active cases and to preventively treat TB infections.

Instructions:
Would I know if I developed active tuberculosis? There is a slight chance you might not know that you have developed active tuberculosis. Tuberculosis bacteria can grow in your body without making you feel sick. However, most people who have active tuberculosis experience symptoms.

If you develop active tuberculosis, you will need to be monitored medically (regular checkups and probably some chest X-rays) for the rest of your life to make sure you stay free of the tuberculosis disease, even after you have taken the full course of tuberculosis medicine.
