tubercolosis

I'm sorry to bother you again but I suffer from severe panic attack AND I there is something I don't understand. is it possible she isn't contagious ? if she has it it probably means she got it from someone else so she is contagious?isn't she? and also regarding the preventive treatment. I'm afraid they won't give it to me here unless the test is positive. is there any reason not to take it, I want to be on the safe side. I know that there are some side effects but besides it isn't it for the best to take this preventive treatment. should I insist on getting it. also, do you know what is the medical term of the other test that you mentioned (something with the stomach AND the "lecha") Thanks a lot Anat

הבדיקה נקראת תרבית כיח - sputum culture - אני מצרפת לינק על כל מה שצריך לדעת על שחפת כדי שתוכלי להבין יותר. לא מומלץ לקחת את הטיפול אם לא ממש צריך (תופעות לואי וסכנה לפגיעה בכבד). http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000077.htm
