A member asked:
I am a tb patient before, do i have a higher chance of getting it back if one of my officemates is a tb positive?

No: Your chances of getting "active" TB at this point rely solely on whether you completed a treatment regimen for your previous episode of TB. See your physician or your health department for a review of your records. Successfully treating your TB with a full course of therapy will greatly reduce your chances of developing active TB again.
