a friend of mine in Kenya went to dentist with tooth ache. He found swollen nodes. She had a test and results are tuberculosis of lymph nodes. Tuberculous Lymphadenitis. Has this got anything to do with the Aids Virus? Is it contagious? Can this be easily treated? What would the treatment be? Thankyou. Mandy.
Hi and thanks for this query. I am so sorry to hear that your friend has TB amenities. TB of the lymph nodes is not contagious. It can be easily treated using a combination of 4 medications for a duration of at least 6\u00a0months. TB amenities is not related to the AIDS virus, but a weak immune system helps TB to carry on and cause damage to the body organs. Please, talk to your doctors for treatment. Encourage your friend to tick to the prescribed medications as compliance is highly needed for a successful treatment. I hope this ad Chat Doctor.  If you have any ore questions or need more clarifications, I would gladly do so. I wish you the best of health.
