Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with reference to Tuberculosis (TB):
- Subclinical TB is TB without the classical symptoms.
- The TB bacillus can reside in humans in a latent state for life, and ‘reactivate’ when immunity is compromised.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: Subclinical TB is defined as “disease due to viable M. tuberculosis bacteria that does not cause clinical TB-related symptoms but causes other abnormalities that can be detected using existing radiologic or microbiologic assays.
Statement 2 is correct: The TB bacillus can reside in humans in a latent state for life, and ‘reactivate’ when immunity is compromised. The shift can occur when additional burdens on the immune system — such as illness, extreme stress or immunosuppressive treatment for another condition — allow the bacteria to grow and multiply. Active disease can occur anywhere from a few weeks to many years after an initial infection.
