Hello sir. TB spreads through air. When a person with active tuberculosis coughs, sneezes then TB germs enter the air and any person around the patient can infected with bacteria. TB is TOTALLY CURABLE disease. First take your girlfriend to Pulmonologist asap and you should also consult Pulmonologist. Proper investigation will shed more light on your symptoms.
