Hello Doctor, my younger sister age, 18 yrs had been suffering from gland tb, and stop the treatment after completing 12 months medicine course & when the blood test report shows no tb germs are there, treatment period was mid of 2009 to mid of 2010,but after that she felt lack of appetite, weight loss, so we consult with doctor & he told to remove two small gland from neck side,just one week before she removed the gland & after biopsy report doctor says that there is tb germ.weight 42, height 5 2 we are really in tense, what should we do now, is it curable?
Helots biopsy of gland in known as tubercular lymphadenitis i.e. enlargement of lymph gland was mycobacterium tubercular bacilli. As you mentioned that she took complete anti-tubercular treatment. But at present need not worry, however reduced weight is cause of concern. Another reason is loss of appetite. So get in PCR tuberculin test for tuberculosis confirmation. And also get in blood culture and Chat Doctor. Since she is also having loss of weight and loss of appetite, so consultation with a specialist is important. Good luck.
