A. Definisi TBC
TBC adalah penyakit infeksi paru-paru yang disebabkan oleh Mycobacterium
tuberculosis.
1) The immune system of people who have direct contact with TB patients. If you
live and care for TB patients on one roof and your immune system is weak, your
risk of getting infected with TB will be even higher. The weaker the body's
immune system, the easier it will be to get infected.
2) How much bacteria is transmitted. People who are often exposed to TB patients
have a greater risk of infection compared to people who are less exposed to germs.
3) Environmental factor. For example, a humid, narrow environment, and not
exposed to sunlight will usually increase the likelihood of transmission resulting in
infection. In addition, places with poor air ventilation or even no ventilation will
increase the risk of transmission. This is because germs released by patients when
coughing or sneezing gather in the room.
4) Exposure. A person's exposure to bacterial transmission is determined by several
factors, namely the proximity or distance between the patient and a healthy person,
the frequency or how often you are exposed, and the duration or duration of
exposure that occurs between healthy people and sufferers
