Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having recurring respiratory tract infection due to coming in contact with this type of infection.
As she is weak and low weight she might be more prone to infection due to weak immune system.
But seeing the symptoms she requires some investigations to rule out primary complex.
Go for,
x-ray chest,
complete blood testing with TC, DC, ESR.
Montoux test.
Ok and take care
