A member asked:
Is minimal koch's infection contagious even though i don't have a cough? will an employer still hire me even though i have minimal koch's infection?

Tuberculosis: Unless there is an unusual coincidence, this appears to be a repeat question, answered a few weeks ago. Tuberculosis ("Koch's infection") is minimally infectious if there is no cough, and also is rarely transmitted once the patient is on proper treatment. You will not be a risk to your co-workers and need not mention your TB to your employer.
