Hi, I am a 72 year old female with multiple chronic diseases, like arthritis and other health prolems such as CAD, hashimotos disease, breathing problems, MGUS and bladder cancer. My daughter rents her house while living with me to a person who recently told her he have TB and his daughter (3 yrs) has inactive TB. My daughter was recently in contact with the family. Should I be concerned.
Hello, thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. If I am your doctor I suggesting you TB is contagious disease. But once or twice exposure won't cause disease. TB requires prolong exposure to be actively in place. I advise you not to get your child exposed to TB patients otherwise she will be diseased. If you have to ask me anything you can contact me. Chat Doctor. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.
