Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that tuberculosis is communicable disease. If the diagnosis is made by biopsy of the node than it is confirmed diagnosis. Otherwise you should do biopsy to confirm tuberculosis. It is spread by respiratory route so to take a leave until you are all clear with the tuberculosis is necessary. But in all cases open case of tuberculosis is communicable to others not the close one. If you have sputum TB positiver than and then you are communicable disease. I will be happy to answer all your future concern. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious disease specialist. Wish you the best health at Chat Doctor.
