I got a little scratch from a stray kitten who hasn't been vaccinated yet. It wasn't really bleeding, so I put off getting vaccinated myself. I ended up getting the rabies shot 44 hours after and a tetanus shot after 28 hours. Do you think this was too late, or am I still okay? I'm a bit worried and would love your take on it.

View allHey, I'm a bit worried and need some advice. I took an HIV 1 and 2 ECLIA antibody test on the 63rd day after potential exposure, and it was done using the Roche e411 analyzer. I'm curious about how accurate the results might be at this stage. Should I trust the results, or do I need to retest later?

I'm dealing with spine TB and have been on TB meds for six months now. I did a CT biopsy, and all TB drugs seem to be working. But my MRI report after six months doesnt show any improvement; in fact, it says the infection has increased. I couldn't walk at all when I started, but now I can walk without any pain, and I've even gained 10 kilos. I'm just confused and a bit worried about why the MRI isnt showing progress even though I feel better. What could be going on?
according to TB guidelines you have to take medicine upto18 months then only u get better results in mri

I'm a bit concerned about my sister. She had an exploratory laparotomy last August and was diagnosed with abdominal tuberculosis. She's been on ATT since September, taking Rifampin, isoniazid, ethambutol, and pyridoxine. She's feeling better, her appetite's good, and she's gaining weight, which is great. But lately, I've noticed her arms and hands feel warmer to the touch compared to others in the family. She doesn't feel feverish, and her oral temperature is normal around 98F. Is this something we should be worried about?
The recent onset of warm arms and hands in your sister, despite normal body temperature and overall well-being, could be related to her ongoing anti-tuberculosis treatment (ATT), particularly Rifampin, which can cause flushing and warmth;
