Windows are also
important in a house to ensure that sunlight can enter. Kusnidar (1993) and
Atmosukarto (2000) showed that the number of TB cases in a house depended on
the intensity of sunlight in the bedroom and living room. Prajogo (1994)
stated that the risk of getting TB was 5.16 (95% CI; 1.56 – 21.96) for house
without enough sunlight compared to houses with enough sunlight. Iseman,
2000 pointed out that ultraviolet light has demonstrated the utility in
killing tubercle bacilli suspended in fine particles in the air.
