Does primary complex( tb)spread from a 2 year old kid to one and half year kid?!


Question: From the Canadian Medical Association Journal:

"Management of TB in children differs in several respects from management of the disease in adults. First, children with TB are never contagious, except for rare cases in adolescents with open cavitary
lesions. Second, children with TB require no limitation of physical activity."

So, the answer to your question is no.

But how was the two year old exposed? Do they share that contact?
