Health officials celebrated the recovery of a woman in Washington State who evaded treatment for tuberculosis for over a year, with multiple negative tests after finally cooperating.
Despite earlier failures to get V.N. treated, she gained back lost weight, cooperated with court orders, and tested negative for tuberculosis, leading to her clean bill of health.
Doctors, unaware of V.N.'s active tuberculosis case, mistook her severe lung condition for cancer after a car accident, revealing the serious deterioration of her tuberculosis infection.
