Transmission of TB usually occurs before detection and diagnosis, that is, it is most contagious when no obvious symptoms are detected. After prompt treatment, TB infectivity quickly diminishes and disappears. TB does not necessarily occur in healthy people who are infected with TB bacteria. The development of tuberculosis is mainly affected by two factors, namely, the virulence of the infected tuberculosis bacillus and the level of body resistance, if the tuberculosis bacillus is virulent and the body resistance is poor, then tuberculosis is prone to occur. The vast majority of people do not develop tuberculosis after initial infection with the tuberculosis bacillus, but about 10% of people may develop tuberculosis at any time in their lives. Infants, adolescents, the elderly, pneumoconiotics, diabetics, post-gastrectomy patients, or long-term users of immunizations are more susceptible to the disease because of lowered immunity. HIV-infected people are susceptible to tuberculosis once infected with TB bacilli due to immunodeficiency.
