Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -TB disease usually develops slowly, and it may take several weeks before you notice you’re unwell. Your symptoms might not begin until months or even years after you were initially infected. Sometimes the infection does not cause any symptoms. This is known as latent TB.
Detailed explanation-2: -How soon do symptoms appear? Most people infected with the germ that causes TB never develop TB disease. If TB disease does develop, it can occur two to three months after infection or years later. The risk of TB disease lessens as time passes.
