I'm having a bit of trouble with my breathing, especially when I'm climbing stairs. I've been using my inhaler, and I've also had the Prevenar 13 vaccination back in 2018 and the FLUQUADRI 0.5ml booster in July 2019. My doctor has mentioned I need another vaccination for this season, especially with the monsoon coming. Could you let me know if the FLUQUADRI 2020-21 vaccine is available in Electronic City, Bangalore? Any insights would be really helpful.

View allI've been noticing this weird poopingcracking sensation in my lungs when I'm sitting, and it seems to come and go without any warning. It's been bothering me because I'm not sure what's causing it. Could this be something serious, or is it just one of those random bodily quirks? Would love some guidance on whether this is something I should be concerned about.

I'm worried that I might have caught TB from a friend who's being treated for it, but I don't have any symptoms yet. I'm trying to figure out which test would be most accurate to detect latent TB. Can the Mantoux test and sputum AFB both find it, or is one better than the other?
The most accurate test for detecting latent TB is the Interferon-Gamma Release Assay (IGRA), such as QuantiFERON or T-SPOT.TB, which measures the immune response to TB proteins; the Mantoux test (Tuberculin Skin Test) is also used, but it has some limitations, such as cross-reactivity with BCG vaccine and false negatives in immunocompromised individuals; sputum AFB (Acid-Fast Bacillus) smear is used to diagnose active TB, not latent TB, so it's not relevant in your case;
