Stage 4 Lung Cancer
I cannot see why it would significantly affect their life span or why treatment would be needed. Stage 4 TB is defined as tuberculosis with no current disease. It is a step above stage 5 when TB is suspected. As a healthcare worker we have to be tested once a year. People with a positive titer are required to get a chest x-ray if no current disease is found nothing more is required and they would be a stage 4.
