Explanation

"TB exposure or treatment" refers to either coming into contact with tuberculosis, a serious lung disease, or receiving medical care for it. Exposure means that a person has been around someone who has tuberculosis, which can spread through the air when the sick person coughs or sneezes. Treatment, on the other hand, involves taking specific medications to cure the disease. Both exposure and treatment are important to understand and identify, as they can help prevent the spread of tuberculosis.
