I am 29 y.o  i WAS diagnosed having active kochs  infection on left upper lobe last October 2011 and my daughter (going 3)was positive on Mantoux Test also.But having no symptoms at all.After 1 month having sick leave may x- ray result was partially resolving.Still taking my medication religiously and my daughter too regulary taking her meds.After 3 months from now my husband will be home.He is working in a cruise ship.I am so afraid of he might be infected as well since hell be expose to me and my daughter..Are we still contagious by that time???
Hellos you mentioned that you WERE a patient for tuberculosis left upper lobe and your daughter was Manitou positive. You took anti-tubercular treatment very REGULARLY along with your daughter. As I have noted in my patient that within 1-2 month with active anti-tubercular treatment sputum become NEGATIVE (NON-CONTAGIOUS) & airborne infection is not possible. So according to this query you and your daughter are not able to spread infection to others due to air. So don't fear avoid mouth-to-mouth contact (just for precaution) ,otherwise there is not a cause of concern. Good luck.
