Although presumably disgusted, Culture decided to carry on with her work. After all, she had a long day ahead of her policing Kyiv’s New Year’s Day activities soon. In fact, she’d forgotten the incident completely.
Now back to the story

Doctors diagnosed called Sophia with tuberculosis TB unbeknownst to the policewoman. The suspect she detained on New Year’s Day had contracted the disease, so when he spat on her, Sova must have caught it. Tb is highly contagious and spreads via sneezing and coughing.
The infection typically attacks the lungs, and symptoms include a bad cough that won’t go away in an unexplained drop in weight. Some sufferers also experience night sweats, fatigue, neck swelling, and a reduced appetite. Once someone inhales TB bacteria, it travels into the lungs and for the first six weeks, it will appear to lie dormant.

In fact, if untreated, half of those with this type of illness will die as it grows and destroys the lungs in the process. In most cases, tuberculosis is treatable.
