Question 1

I've got a positive TB gold test, but my sputum for AFB and TB CBNAAT tests came back negative. I don't even have a cough. The CT scan of my abdomen showed lymph nodes in the right iliac fossa, but my gastro doctor couldn't spot them during a colonoscopy. How do I figure out if the TB is active or latent? Would an FDG whole body PET CT help clarify whether it's active or latent TB? I'm a bit confused and could really use some guidance on what to do next.

Question 5

I'm really worried about my husband's recent x-ray for his job. It's showing right hilar congestion, and although he's not coughing, he does have a cold. Do you think there's any medicine that could help, or maybe some advice on how to clear this up?...

Accepted Answer

Right hilar congestion on an X-ray can indicate mild inflammation or vascular congestion, possibly due to his cold. Since he has no cough or significant symptoms, supportive care like steam inhalation and staying hydrated may help. If required urgently for his medical report, consult a pulmonologist to rule out any underlying condition.

Accepted Answer

It's important to identify the cause of your recurring evening fever over the past 3 months. It could be due to various factors like infections, inflammation, or other underlying conditions. I recommend consulting with your doctor for a thorough evaluation and appropriate tests to determine the cause and provide proper treatment.
