Limit exposure: Unfortunately, 'yes', she could get reinfected if she is re-exposed at some time in the future. TB is highly infectious, and I'm afraid there's a lot of it in the Phils. See if you can find out 'where' she got it from and avoid that going forward. TB likes crowded, cramped, INDOOR conditions. It can't be transmitted outside in open areas with a good breeze and sunlight. I expect a complete cure.
