A member asked:
Can a 10 year old child be affected of primary complex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely yes: A child can inhale the mycobacteria from an active person coughing on them. The TB then travels to the lung where a healthy immune system will quarantine it surrounded by nearby lymph nodes. The child remains healthy and usually has no symptoms. They may remain symptom free until their immune system declines and the disease becomes active.
