What causes active tuberculosis to infect
those who catch it? If its contagious why
doesn't everyone reicive it?

Length and type of exposure will both have
an affect on whether or not someone
contracts tuberculosis from an active
sufferer.
The rate of infection has declined in most
developed nations because of immunisation
programs, conducted on high school age
children.
