Situation is : Diagnosed with TB one yr back. taken reatement for 9 mnths. No fever now, but CT scan, Xrays show lymph nodes still. FNAC from a lymph node was Positive for Smear BUT NEGATIVE for CULTURE after 6 weeks. What does this mean? TB is cured or still medicines is required? what shold be done in this case?
Hello rearward welcome to Chat Doctor.come have gone through your concern thoroughly.* Symptoms of active TB include fever, weight loss, anorexia, cough in pulmonary issue, lethargy, easy navigability, swollen obvious lymph nodes in some cases.* Every lymph node residual in body after TB treatment does not require treatment.* Thorough clinical work up with expert physician is recommended for final decision. Thanks. Regards.
