Someone a friend of mine lives with claims to have TB. She also claims she is not seeing a UK doctor about it, and was being treated overseas (she is Chinese).
My friend is anxious about infection, and has been told by his own GP that the housemate should have a doctor in the UK, and the local health authority should be informed. They live in a private student hall, so infection could be a problem. Although he has had the BCG vaccination, he is still worried that he might end up catching a new strain.
He has told the warden of the hall what he knows, but when questioned about it, his housemate denied what she said. It is possible she was lying - she "admitted" her illness while making excuses for spitting in the wash handbasin (?).
Does anyone have any advice I can pass on to him? There is litte reliable advice concerning vaccinations about, and he is rather an anxious sort of person.
