Woman dies of deadly tuberculosis after doctors began treating TB too late

A jury has found an RAF sergeant nurse was exposed to tuberculosis while volunteering at a London hospital, with her illness going undetected and treatment being carried out "too late".

Carrianne Franks was diagnosed with pneumonia and Covid-19, and was only screened for TB, an aggressive form of the disease, before she died.

According to Nottinghamshire Live, the circumstances surrounding her death were heard at a jury inquest in Nottingham. A narrative conclusion was delivered by the jury on Friday (May 26).
