Primary TB: occurs when the person first becomes infected. A person who has the infection can have it for years and never get the illness. An infected person is not contagious. Progressive TB: The person has active TB disease and is contagious. The disease will progress unless the person recieves treatment. Reactivation TB: The person was treated once before and the disease has returned. This may be due to not finishing the previous treatment or reinfection. send me an email if you want more information
