Schools are highly populated. The communal living and studying in schools render long-term close contacts between students. In addition to the developing immunity, great pressure on study and insufficient physical exercises, communicable TB, if inappropriately managed, tends to circulate at the campus. Thus, aggregating outbreak of TB may occur.
