Can I travel if I have tuberculosis?
31/1/2025

The first priority is to treat the disease and prevent other people from becoming infected. Patients, treating doctors and the public health department form a team to achieve this.

Travel is possible in consultation with the treating medical professional if there is no risk of infection, the patient's state of health is stable and medication is taken regularly and well tolerated. The public health department should be informed of the planned trip in good time.
Travel to other cities or abroad should only take place if the therapy can be continued without restrictions on the way and at the destination and appropriate medical care is guaranteed in the event of possible problems. Otherwise, there is a risk of the disease worsening or infecting other people. If you have any questions or uncertainties, you can contact the public health department or medical staff.
