Should I Get Tested For TB?
I have been diagnosed with Pulmonary histiocytosis LCH. My husband just recently tested positive through a blood test for tb. he has no other symptoms than a occular tumor. We are in the middle of testing if this is part of the TB. Should I also get tested for Tb, having the immune compromised disease?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for tuberculosis in both of you.
Tuberculosis most commonly affect lungs.
Ocular tuberculosis is very very uncommon.
And if at all it is present in your husband's case, it is not contagious, means it can not spread in you.
So no need to worry for tuberculosis in you.
Maintain good, healthy diet and maintain your immunity.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
