This form is easily diagnosed. The girlfriend of the sister should be hospitalized, and the faces was in kontakte-to receive preventive treatment. The dwelling, bed and utensils of the patient should pass or take place a cleansing. Tuberkulez-chronic infectious disease, ways of infections a little, but more often micobacteria get in lungs through respiratory ways. Intrafamily and intraroom contacts to a sick tuberculosis, its or his personal things are especially dangerous.
