    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Tuberculosis (TB) incidence is rising globally.
    • TB affects all societal levels, with uneven distribution.
    • Understanding TB transmission dynamics is critical.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To summarize key aspects of tuberculosis transmission.
    • To highlight the increasing likelihood of TB in patients.
    • To inform public health and clinical approaches to TB.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of established knowledge on TB transmission routes.
    • Analysis of factors influencing TB infectiousness.
    • Societal impact assessment of TB prevalence.

    Main Results:

    • Tuberculosis primarily spreads via airborne droplet nuclei.
    • Rarely, TB can transmit through direct inoculation.
    • Infectiousness of active TB cases varies significantly.

    Conclusions:

    • Airborne transmission is the predominant route for TB.
    • Direct inoculation is a rare but possible transmission pathway.
    • Patient infectiousness in active TB is multifactorial and requires careful assessment.
