I'm curious about the longest incubation period of rabies that's ever been recorded in India. Could you please shed some light on this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
longest incubation period for rabies ever recorded globally was up to 19 years, but this is an extreme anomaly. , the incubation period for rabies in humans ranges from 2 weeks to 3 months, but it can vary from a few days to several years, depending on factors like the site of the bite, the amount of virus introduced, and the host's immune response.

View allI'm currently on ATT treatment DOT and have had my lymph node aspirated twice. The culture and DSTMTB indicated sensitivity to all first and second-line drugs. However, the lymph node swells up again after the pus is taken out. Is this normal? I've attached a screenshot for reference. I'm taking my medication under DOT, and I have a history of TBM. For the past year and three months, I've been under treatment, and just last month, I noticed the TB lymph node. Could you provide some advice or insight into this?
no it is not normal. swelling of lymph node means there might be infection and recollection of pus
