I'm really worried because I had 23 lymph nodes on my neck after finishing my TB treatment. After seeing a doctor, I was given Moxif 400 and Pantocide 40, which helped, and the nodes burst out. I was fine for a while, but now after 7 months, a single node is back with pus-like symptoms. I'm really anxious about what's the best treatment for this and how long it will take to heal. Is there a chance it could come back again after 6 or 7 months even after getting treated? Please, I need some guidance on what to do.

I got bitten by a rat at work about 27 days ago and accidentally scratched the wound too. I did wash it with water right away. My tetanus shot is up-to-date, but I never got any antirabies shots. Now the wound's healed completely. Do I need to do anything more about this?

my relative got an HIV ELISA test before surgery and the report says cut off value is 0.1312 with non-reactive result - can you explain what this means in simple terms? are they HIV negative or is there still a risk?

A "non-reactive" result on an HIV ELISA test, especially with a low S/CO ratio like 0.1312, means the test didn't detect any significant signs of HIV infection at the time of the test. In simple terms, this usually means the person is HIV negative, but there's a small chance of a recent infection that the test hasn't yet detected.
