Wisconsin Tuberculosis Program Statement on the National Tuberculosis Coalition of America (NTCA) Guidelines for Respiratory Isolation and Restrictions to Reduce Transmission of Pulmonary Tuberculosis in Community Settings (2024)

Tuberculosis is caused by the bacteria, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is spread from person to person through the air when someone with active infectious tuberculosis (TB) coughs, sings, or speaks. Isolation is the practice of separating individuals with infectious TB from others to prevent the spread of infection. In Wisconsin, most patients with infectious TB reside at home or in another community setting during the required isolation period.
