tuberculosis


by: Sneha on Fri, Sep 14 2007

Hi, My husband had recurrence of fever for past 6 months. He initially had backache and night fever. He was treated with antibiotics and later detected malaria and treated for malaria. Post which fever subsided for two weeks and started coming again. We ignored it for few days, thought would go away. Later he had vomiting and diahoria [diarrhea] for which he was treated separately. Then, the doctor suggested a relapse of malaria, treated again for malaria for next one month. The fever did not occur during the period of medication, but appeared just after the completion of medications. Then, the doctor detected lymph node protrusion and from biopsy and blood tests, lymph node TB was confirmed. Now, he is being treated with ATK-4 for next 6 months
