Tuberculosis is transmitted by aerial route from an infected patient to a healthy subject and is facilitated when the receiver is immunologically sensitive. Even when the risk of transmission is low, measures should be taken to prevent emission of bacilli, their suspension in air and inhalation by sensitive subjects, especially immunodeficient subjects. Surveillance of hospital staff and preventive antituberculosis regimens are generally recommended, but often quite controversial.
结核病通过空气传播途径从受感染患者传播至健康个体，当接受者免疫敏感时更易传播。即便传播风险较低，也应采取措施防止杆菌排放、其在空气中悬浮以及敏感个体尤其是免疫缺陷个体吸入。通常建议对医院工作人员进行监测并采取预防性抗结核治疗方案，但这些措施往往颇具争议。
