Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Looking at the clinical history, I do not think tuberculosis is going to recur.
If it recurs, it can only come in the form of secondary tuberculosis and occurs when the immune system is compromised (AIDS).

Regarding spreading, it will occur only after you get and chances Are low as she would be vaccinated.

Any further queries, happy to help again.
