My mother is having frequent severe pain and fever localized in the scalp area only, & the fever goes off with sweating in the scalp & forehead region.Ct scan of the brain has been performed , report says calcification in the central line of the brain.Montoux test is positive with 12mm.Blood test & urine tests are normal.What is the disease she is suffering from & what is the treatment for this disease??
Hi friend, Welcome to Chat Doctor The feature of fever localized in the scalp area only may not be right / she could be telling a different or hot sensation restricted to the local area... Details of calcification are not clear - may be in the normal structure like fall / or abnormal lesions? Appropriate treatment is dictated by accurate diagnosis... and your mother probably needs some more investigations before proceeding further. Discuss with your Neurologist... If necessary, have a second opinion... Take tarnishing speedy recovery God bless Good luck
