Can babies come into contact with tuberculosis patients

Tuberculosis is through respiratory tract infection, and infants are likely to be infected after contact with patients. So we must be careful with the baby contact with tuberculosis patients.

First of all, it depends on whether the patient is infectious. Not all tuberculosis patients are infectious. If the patient is infectious, as long as there is no close contact, the possibility of infection is relatively small.

Only those with tuberculosis in sputum detected by microscopy can be infectious. It's better to avoid infant contact if it's infectious, but it doesn't matter if it's not infectious.
