My wife had an abscess near hip which we recently got removed. After that lot many tests were carried out to know the cause and finally she has been diagnosed with TB. Want to know whether it is contagious? In her case symptoms have been 1.) Abscess got created (Contained Pus) 2.) Weight Loss..Also want to know whether it must have damaged her organs by now?
Welcome to Chat Doctor, Tuberculosis (TB) usually effects lungs but sometimes may affect other organs such as bone etc. and may result in abscess. Yes TB is a contagious disease. I advise for you is to do 2 sputum sample examination for tuberculosis and find out if her lung are effected. TB is very contagious. We currently have good treatment for TB and once your wife is put on those Chat Doctor.  The only problem is that this treatment needs to be taken at least for 6 months. Do not worry because if the treatment is taken correctly it will cure your wife of TB. Remember TB mainly spreads by coughing and not trough sex. Hope that answers your question.
