With that many refugees testing positive for TB, you'd think the whole ded-gum Middle East would be a walking TB factory. If I'm not mistaken, isn't TB highly contagious?

I wouldn't identify it as "highly contagious", but rather , as just contagious .
Of greater concern about tuberculosis is the fact that there is now a drug-resistant variety of TB which is difficult to treat and 'cure'.
The drug-resistant variety of tuberculosis arose due to patients inadequately or totally failing to complete treatment after treatment was begun.
The medical treatment for tuberculosis demands long term , lengthy treatment , and is very expensive, and may exceed what the FED/DHS is offering as a relocation subsidy.
