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?

View allHow soon after a covid infection do black fungus symptoms usually appear? Can early detection of black fungus be treated without needing surgery?
Black fungus, or mucormycosis, can appear within days to weeks after a COVID-19 infection, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems or those treated with corticosteroids. While early detection is crucial, not all cases can be treated without surgery, especially if the infection is advanced or involves vital structures like the eyes or brain

I'm really concerned because I've been on medication for the past three days, and I still have a 99.5-degree temperature. My test results showed that both typhoid and dengue IgM are weakly positive. Could there be something else going on, or is this type of fever expected? I'm not sure if I should be worried or if this is normal recovery.
You are on the right side no need to worry it takes time for the medicine to act and the infection to come under control,consume bland diet and stay hydrated.

I'm wondering if, after being exposed to HIV, the antibodies still show up in the body even four years later. Is there any possibility that they might vanish over time? And if they might disappear, would they still be detectable after a long period?
Yes, HIV antibodies can remain present in the human body for many years after exposure. In some cases, the antibodies may decrease over time but they are usually detectable even after a long period. It is important to note that HIV testing is still recommended for accurate diagnosis and monitoring of the infection.
