Question

Select the correct preventive measures of tuberculosis.

• A. Isolation of infected person
• B. BCG vaccine
• C. Use of face mask
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

BCG stands for Bacillus Calmette-Guerin. BCG vaccine is given for protection against tuberculosis as a preventive measure. Since tuberculosis is an airborne disease, the person who is infected by tuberculosis should be kept in isolation so that he does not spread bacteria by coughing or sneezing. Also, to protect oneself from getting tuberculosis, one should wear a facemask so that tuberculosis bacteria is not inhaled and does not cause infection.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
