A person with a latent tuberculosis infection will

  1. Show severe symptoms

  2. Have frequent coughs

  3. Have a positive skin test and no symptoms of active tuberculosis

  4. Need immediate surgery

The correct answer is: Have a positive skin test and no symptoms of active tuberculosis

Depending on the answer chosen, A, B, or D, the person is likely to have severe symptoms, frequent coughs, or need immediate surgery. In contrast, option C states that a person with latent tuberculosis infection will only have a positive skin test and no symptoms of active tuberculosis. This is because latent tuberculosis infection is a condition where the bacteria that causes tuberculosis is in the body but is not actively developing and causing symptoms. Therefore, there is no need for immediate surgery or any severe symptoms to be shown. Option C provides the most accurate description of a person with latent tuberculosis infection.
