My best friend is 33 years old. And married ,no child. She got diagnosed through her immigration medical, that she had tb. But there is not a single symptom matches like tb. And in three days sputum smear tests are negative. And she is awaiting for her culture report. So is there any possibility for tb? Thank you.

If the sputum culture is negative she has no tb and if the sputum afb test is negative it also means she is not a tb patient.
