Reply #5: Not your Grandma's type of TB [View All]

[GoldenOldie]

There is a more virulent TB than that once encountered and this new strain is much more difficult treat. The health officials and the media have made little mention of it for reasons ...... who knows?

If the Texas Board of Health is doing their job, they are not only testing the children and co-workers but also anyone this young lady has been in contact with. It doesn't appear that the autopsy has been done or results are not yet found. Their could be many reasons for the cough, ie., an extremely fast growing cancer, that was dismissed as a bad cold, etc.

Here in the West, good Pediatricians, test all of their toddlers for TB.
