Infection with a dormant virus

Isabelle Gomez

The bacteria that causes tuberculosis can dwell in your body without getting you sick. The infection is known as latent tuberculosis. Most people who inhale tuberculosis bacteria become infected because their bodies are able to fight the bacteria and prevent them from multiplying. If the immune system is unable to stop the germs from multiplying, they become active. TB illness occurs when the tuberculosis bacteria are active. People who have tuberculosis are unwell. They may also be able to pass the bacteria on to persons they interact with on a daily basis. Many persons with latent tuberculosis do not acquire TB illness. Some patients develop Tuberculosis (TB) sickness shortly after becoming infected, before their immune system has a chance to fight the bacterium. In general, latent infection refers to the presence of an infectious agent in the body without any visible symptoms. The symptomless incubation phase, which is quite predictable in length in certain diseases, such as measles and smallpox, is a period of latency in infection. After a patient has recovered completely from an infectious condition, the infectious agent may remain in the host for a long time, often years, without generating any noticeable symptoms.

After a patient has recovered completely from an infectious condition, the infectious agent may remain in the host for a long time, often years, without generating any noticeable symptoms. In this case, the infection outlasts the illness. Typhoid, cholera, epidemic meningitis, diphtheria, scarlet fever, and other diseases all have this type of infection latency. Recurrent fever, undulant fever, and septic emic infections all have symptomless intervals or periods of latency, which can cause a variety of issues.
