Me and my friends visited a friend, she was diagonised with tb (she first got jaundice then typhoid malaria and then tb). She was hospitalised and she got discharge from hospital (as she was getting recovered), we met her after the discharge. Can i get infected by disease? Though she was wearing a mask all the time, she took it off just to eat something. Do i need to get any test done for assurance and when?

Less chances of you getting TB as she was wearing mask. Still if you have fever or cough, get a chest XRAY and show it to us. Dr Indu Bubna
