My mother has been in contact with TB
My mother has an employee who has just been diagnosed with tuberculosis. We are supposed to be going on holiday to visit them tomorrow. My mother's doctor has told her that it is not a big thing, however I am worried about taking my young children to visit their grandmother in case she has the bacteria.
