Do flight attendants get tb often on international flights?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can happen: But more commonly they are exposed when off the plane overnighting in an area with high rate of tb. If somebody with active open pulmonary TB is coughing on a flight, the attendants are not the only ones likely to be infected.
