According to the Monroe County, NY Dept of Health, those with low immunity have the highest chance of getting TB. That would be the very young (infants - don't have immune system tht works too well yet) or the elderly. Anyone can get TB if they are in contact with someone who has it. It is transmitted through the air when the infected person coughs or breaths. The more you are around people with TB, the more likely you are to get it. Like Health care workers, prison inmates and guards etc.

TB is a chronic,progressive bacterial infection with a period of latency following initial infection. Depending on where you live and under what conditions (poverty) or in crowded housing areas,and general state of health and habits( drinking and drug use) etc,will determine the rate of infection in your area,not a specific age group.All age groups are susceptible to this infection. About 1.6 billion are infected with the primary TB bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( acid fast bacillus) world wide,killing about 2 million each year. TB can also infect and cause death and damage to other organs, TB of the gastrointestinal tract,,meningitis ,heart, bone and joints, liver,kidneys.Take care. TB is not caused by a "virus". SW FNP

During epidemics of tuberculosis it could effect anyone. If a person with TB as much as sneezed in a room of people it could infect other people. Age was not really a factor. Until Danny Thomas came along and founded St. Judes Childrens Research Hospital, children were pretty much the unseen victims of diseases.

Hi. The times when individuals are more susceptible to acquiring disease is: 1. Young children who have not yet fully developed their immunity. ( For the case of TB, they are normally immunised therefore they form the immunity early on in their infancy). ( I have seen only one case where a child was born to a mother who had multi drug resistant TB and the child was highly susceptible to the disease.) 2. The very elderly and this is also due to reduced immunity and in-activity. 3. The other group of people who are highly susceptible to TB are the ones with a compromised immune system and live in areas where TB is a pendemic or those who are in constant contact with a known TB patient
