Hi, It is normal for a pt to reduce weight in tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is known to cause supportive lymphadenopathy, usually lymph nodes swelling subsides with anti-tuberculous treatment, but since your lymph nodes suppurates and are not healing surgical intervention to remove the involved lymph node (one which is suppurating to the outside) is necessary. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
