A healthy nurse has died 24 hours after learning she had tuberculosis. Carrianne Franks was hospitalised for nine weeks with a mystery illness before doctors discovered it was TB.
The 30-year-old sent her mum a text after her diagnosis, saying: “Mum, they found out what I have. I’ve got TB.”
She was rushed to intensive care where she entered a coma. Within hours, Carrianne had tragically died, passing away before her devastated parents were able to get to the hospital to say their final goodbye, reports Birmingham Live.
