It seems to be a very serious illness. I have Googled and found many medical journals discussing this disease. I am not sure I am qualified to interpret what is written in them but I suggest you look it through and see what you can find http://www.google.com/search?q=ovarian+tuberculosis&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&ie=utf8&oe=utf8 I also think your lady-kin is under medical surveilance and probably her doctors know all these answers and if she hasn't asked these questions maybe its time to go with her with a prepared list of questions. Good luck

Once the TB bacteria has been inhaled via a carriers saliva or mucus droplets the particles travel to the lungs where they can multiply and cause infection (typically pneumonia). The bacteria may then, if not resisted by the immune system through fibrosis (scar tissue), attempt to spread to other regions of the body but this bacteria grows quite slowly unfortunately it dies just as slowly as it spreads requiring months of antibiotics to ensure the infection remains dormant

I do not know where you live so I have no idea what strain of TB you have in your area. What you should do it contact your local health department and ask them for a copy of their suggestions for cleaning a residence where TB was noted to be present. They have specific guidelines for the TB infections they see in the area. Great question and I hope you get the answer you are looking for.

You don't have to clean a hours from Tuberculosis. The germ doesn't hang around that long. So if it's been over a day, you don't have to try to kill the germ, it's already dead. No danger. You would have more of a chance of catching TB just waking down the street and someone with TB coughed on you. Even that way is not very likely. Besides, unless you have HIV most people have to have continuous exposure for a long time. My brother lived with me for 2 years coughing all the time, then we found out he had TB. None of us caught if from him even then. Most people can fight off TB before it starts if they have a good immune system
