Is pulmonary tuberculosis transmitted by asymptomatic tongue kiss?

Whether a patient suffering from tuberculosis is infectious depends on the specific situation of the patient. If the patient has expectoration, and the sputum test has tuberculosis, the patient has infectious, that is, the source of infection, tuberculosis infection is mainly through the respiratory tract, mouth-to-mouth breathing, of course, is more likely to be infected. Don't kiss when she still has bacteria excretion; If there is no sputum or tubercle bacillus in sputum, the patient is not infectious.

Tuberculosis is mainly transmitted by droplets, saliva contains Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the lung infection caused by chronic respiratory infectious diseases. The main source of infection is tuberculosis patients with positive sputum smear, and the route of infection is through respiratory tract. So there is a high probability that kissing can infect tuberculosis. Because the degree of tuberculosis infection is mainly affected by the amount of bacteria excreted by tuberculosis patients, cough symptoms and the close degree of contact and other factors.
