A study of the Health care workers currently employed in major tuberculosis sanatoriums found about 25% of them suffering from latent infections. This substantiates the belief that people who spend prolonged hours in close contact with patients of tuberculosis frequently develop latent infections, many of them quite serious. Accordingly, healthcare experts anticipate this percentage to be considerably higher in that portion of the general public which has spent a comparable length of time in similarly close contact with tuberculosis patients.
Which of the following statements best provides support to the experts’ prediction?
A.
Latent infections quickly morph into full blown diseases, seriously hampering the ability of a health care worker to take care of the patients and forcing him/her to take early retirement.
B.
In most cases a tuberculosis patient has to be kept in solitary confinement, either at home or at hospitals.
C.
The proportion of the general public that has spent comparable durations in close proximity of tuberculosis patients when compared to the proportion of health care workers is relatively small.
D.
The government’s efforts to eradicate tuberculosis from the country have been largely successful but only in certain pockets of population.
E.
People infected with latent infections from tuberculosis stand almost 50% chances of developing a full-blown case of the disease.

If the latent diseases morph into other diseases, that implies that these people no longer have latent diseases, so how would that affect the non HC worker population infected with LATENT diseases as a result. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

It wouldn't.
This is a flawed lift of the following question.

The change from allergies to latent tuberculosis didn't work.
