I'm trying to understand what it means to have primary pulmonary pseudolymphoma. My doctor mentioned there's no treatment needed and they just want to keep an eye on it. Should I be worried about this condition? How serious is it, and what kinds of changes or symptoms should I be watching out for if we're only observing?

I've had left pleural fluid since December 2021, and I'm still on TB medicine. According to my chest CT and PET CT scans, the TB has relapsed, and mycobacterium was detected with low RIF resistance. I'm taking the 4 TB tablets daily, but why did it relapse?

probably mycobacterium in you has become resistant to medicines which you are taking . relapse also has a treatment donot worry

I'm really worried about this pleural empyema situation. If there's a 100ml buildup, do antibiotics alone help clear it up, or would it definitely need to be drained? I've heard different things and I'm not sure what to expect.

antibiotics alone not be alone

I recently started my TB medication and usually take it around 9 in the morning, but I messed up and forgot to have it on time. I just remembered it at about 11 at night and decided to take it then. I'm worried if taking it so late might cause any issues. Should I be concerned about this lapse in my schedule?
