After TB infection occurs, most individuals carry the tubercle bacilli inside the body, but bacteria are in small numbers and are dormant. These dormant bacteria are kept under control by the body’s defenses and do not cause disease. Disease occurs only when the tubercle bacilli in the body have started to multiply and become numerous enough to overcome the body’s defenses (World Health Organization [WHO], 2004a). The most important source of infection is the patient with TB of the lung, or pulmonary TB (especially sputum smear positive TB), and who is coughing. Coughing produces tiny infectious droplet nuclei. An individual’s risk of infection depends on the extent of exposure to droplet nuclei and his or her susceptibility to infection. 2012-12-31T00:14:44Z 2022-11-08T10:14:19Z 2012-12-31T00:14:44Z 2022-11-08T10:14:19Z 2008 Technical Report http://103.69.126.140:8080/handle/123456789/313 en_US application/pdf Nepal Health Research Council
