A member asked:
My husband had tb, when he was younger, now that he is older, can it come back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This depends: Did he actually have active pulmonary tuberculosis or did he just test positive on a PPD. Theres a big difference. If positive without treatment the answer is yes.
