Yes: If an infection is causing the lack of appetite and fatigue, it can be transferred to someone else.

No: Causes of chronic fatigue are many, and infection is not the most common. Some common causes are depression, which, of course can effect the rest of the family.. Or use of alcohol or drugs, which affect the rest of the family.
