My wife needed to have a TB test for her job (she works at a daycare center ) .The test showed positive. She is in denial and thinks the test is wrong because she won't admit the symptoms are connected to her TB .Symptoms are Extreme fatigue, migraines, night sweats. I try to talk to her about the condition and she becomes very combative. I am growing more worried because we have a 13 year old son and don't want him to get infected. I have been tested and with negative results. She is from South America and has been tested before for immigration purposes but I don't think they administered the shot correctly.
