Tuberculosis is an infection caused by bacteria, and often affects the lungs. A serious case of T.B (aka consumption) results in painful breaths and the violent coughing up of blood, along with fever and sweating. Your sister should be okay though: almost all people who test positive for T.B. germs do not have an active case of the disease. Also, T.B. is treatable nowadays, and an afflicted person has a very good chance of recovery

In this connotation, it has to be tuberculosis, a highly contagious lung disease. What your sister got was not a shot, but the skin test for T.B.
If they haven't been there, yet, expect the Health Dept. agents any time now, and your whole family, as well as anyone else around you are going to get the same test.

TB is tuberculosis but just because her test was positive doesn't mean she has it. She may just be sensitive to the test solution. YOu can read more about TB on the web.

I think its not spreading diseae in your country, so it is just an infectious disease in lung, peritonium and intestinal lymph nodes, and it is droplet infection
