الإجابة: D. After 3 negative AFB smears 8 hours apart
Airborne isolation continues until the patient has been on appropriate therapy (~2 weeks) and has 3 consecutive negative sputum AFB smears, collected about 8 hours apart. A fixed number of treatment days alone (A, B) or only 2 negative smears (C) is not enough.

A
ليش غلط
One week is too short: airborne isolation is stopped only after two weeks of appropriate therapy and 3 negative smears, not after a fixed number of days alone.

B
ليش غلط
Ten days of treatment does not reach the required two weeks, and negative smears are also required before isolation is stopped.

Two negative smears is not enough: the criterion is 3 negative smears (plus two weeks of appropriate therapy).
