I'm no medical expert but doing a bit of reading on all this, mould and TB are not suited together in one environment.

Obviously they were not expecting this to happen as we don't have the details of the room environment but for health concerns they had to get rid of the mould first.
Once they get this sorted there will be no back tracks from here.
Just my opinion.

Does mold cause tuberculosis?

Despite recent progress and advances in medicine, tuberculosis (TB) is still not a disease of the past.

In Canada alone around 1 600 new cases of tuberculosis are reported each year.

On March 24 this year, the Ontario Lung Association stated that tuberculosis remains a serious public health concern in Ontario, with one-third of all cases in 2009 occurring primarily in the Greater Toronto Area.
With that in mind, learning more about tuberculosis causes and what you can do to prevent it is the key to keep you and your loved ones safe from this disease.
In fact many things we do in our daily routine can be the cause behind the weak immune system and increase risk of tuberculosis.
Living with mold is definitely one of those things

How are mold exposure and tuberculosis related?

As we mentioned earlier, there are three types of mold:
Allergenic
Pathogenic
Toxigenic

Each of these types can have a different impact on your health, from a simple skin rash to breathing issues and even cancer. Which symptoms you will experience (if any) depends mainly on your immune system.

But, even the strongest immune systems can weaken with time if it is continuously expose to mold. Especially to Pathogenic and Toxigenic types of mold.
Tuberculosis is one of the possible mold effect you can experience and we can blame the toxic type of mold for that. Toxic mold spores often produce mycotoxins that threaten your health and make you vulnerable to diseases, like the above mentioned tuberculosis.

At Mold Busters, we often get asked whether mold can cause tuberculosis, given that it has such a profound effect on the respiratory system.

The answer?
No… at least not directly.

Although mold itself cannot cause tuberculosis, it does weaken people’s immune systems, making them more vulnerable to infections. Once your immune systems stops working full-time, you shouldn’t worry about tuberculosis only, but many other infections, mold related or not.

People who spend a substantial amount of time in areas with poor air quality are at greater risk of mold exposure and are, therefore, more susceptible to allergic, bacterial and viral infections due to weakened immune systems.

Statistics show that people in isolated or minority communities (i.e. the homeless, aboriginal people and immigrants) face higher rates of infection, likely due to poor living conditions that cause prolonged exposure to mold and poor air quality.

“they had to get rid of the mould first.”

If mould and TB are inherently in the environment, the test protocols are amended and imo, the test is now not limited to the TB but both. This gives PO3 an opportunity to measure how soon it gets rid of the (1) mould and (2) TB. It’s not like they’ll create a mould free environment so they can test TB because mould is inherent in the room. Testing starts with mould in there but they probably needed to establish the mould and TB baseline. Then install the frg. Just my thoughts
