I'm really worried about tuberculous lymphadenitis. Is it something that can spread from one person to another? If that's the case, could you explain how it happens? I'm just trying to understand the risks better.

Yes, tuberculous lymphadenitis is a contagious disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It can spread from one person to another through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It is important to seek medical treatment to prevent the spread of the disease. Treatment usually involves a combination of antibiotics such as Rifampicin, Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide, and Ethambutol for several months.

View allI recently did a Dengue test, and my Dengue IGM came back positive, but the Ns1 Antigen and IgG were negative. What does this mean for my health, and what should be my next steps? Should I be concerned?
Since your Dengue IgM test is positive, it indicates a recent infection with the Dengue virus. It is important to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. You can take Paracetamol 500mg every 6 hours as needed for fever and body aches. Additionally, you should monitor your platelet count regularly and seek medical attention if you experience any warning signs such as persistent vomiting, severe abdominal pain, or bleeding.

I'm really worried about my uncle who's 56 and has been dealing with tubercular infection in his lymph nodes. Hes already been on anti-tubercular medication for 19 months, but it hasn't improved his condition at all. I'm wondering if there are any top doctors or hospitals in India, especially around Delhi, that you could recommend for this situation. Is surgery something we should be considering as our next step?
