Thanks in turn for your response


I sincerely hope that as many members as possible read such posts. At least they will then be informed, without necessarily reading all the evidence in the links !


" Flaring up " ( reactivation ) of a previous infection - or ( less commonly ) a completely new infection from someone with active TB - are the alternative ways for getting this serious disease.


As some members may know, my father ( a GP ) was infected by a patient. Anecdotes are one thing - many years diagnosing TB in other patients is another. Both influence my wish to explain it to members as best I can.


May all members and their loved ones have the best possible health .
