TB is which kind of disease?

• A. Waterborne disease
• B. Vector-borne
• C. Skin disease
• D. Airborne disease

Answer: (D)

TB spreads through the air via tiny aerosol particles released when someone with active tuberculosis coughs, sneezes, or talks. These droplet nuclei can linger in the air and be inhaled by others, which is what makes it airborne transmission. It isn’t typically spread through water, not by insects or other vectors, and although TB can affect the skin in rare forms, the common and defining mode of spread is through the air. So the best classification is an airborne disease.
