HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, extra pulmonary tuberculosis does not have any symptoms that is being seen in lung TB, but Tuberculosis is contagious, no matter what type of it is, if you complete the course of disease then chances of replace is almost nil, hope this information helps, take care.
