Interested to know how does latent tuberculosis become active?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
TUBERCULOSIS:: If primary focus is not eliminated by treatment, there is always risk of disseminated tubercular spread. Any deterioration of immune status, infection, malnutrition, stress, etc can make reactivation of the latent infection.
