I came into contact today (she was kissing my son) who then was reported to have Atypical TB! I am nervous even though she said it was not contagious and is on about a dozen antibiotics. What should I do? She has a daughter my sons age and they played all day (4 years old)
Hello, THX to contact us. We wish you a very best health at Chat Doctor. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that atypical TB is contagious. But this infection won't appear in one exposure. It requires constant exposure for long period than and then it will occur. Atypical TB are much sensitive to Chat Doctor.  So that your neighbor going to get cured easily. If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Than. Chat Doctor; Infectious disease specialist
