I'm really worried because I had 23 lymph nodes on my neck after finishing my TB treatment. After seeing a doctor, I was given Moxif 400 and Pantocide 40, which helped, and the nodes burst out. I was fine for a while, but now after 7 months, a single node is back with pus-like symptoms. I'm really anxious about what's the best treatment for this and how long it will take to heal. Is there a chance it could come back again after 6 or 7 months even after getting treated? Please, I need some guidance on what to do.

View allI'm kind of worried about my recent HIV ELISA test result. It came back as 0.27, and I got it done six months after having unprotected sex. The report says that anything below 0.90 is negative, but I'm not sure how to interpret this. Can you help me understand what this means?
Low Hemoglobin and Fever _Correlation Between Low Hemoglobin and Fever_ 1. _Not directly related_: Low hemoglobin (8.5) is not typically a direct cause of fever. 2. _Underlying condition_: However, the underlying condition causing your low hemoglobin might also be contributing to your fever. _Possible Causes of Low Hemoglobin and Fever_ 1. _Chronic infection_: Chronic infections like tuberculosis, endocarditis, or osteomyelitis can cause both low hemoglobin and fever. 2. _Chronic inflammation_: Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or inflammatory bowel disease can lead to both low hemoglobin and fever. 3. _Nutritional deficiencies_: Deficiencies in iron, vitamin B12, or folate can cause low hemoglobin, and underlying conditions like celiac disease or Crohn's disease can also cause fever. 4. _Blood disorders_: Blood disorders like anemia of chronic disease, myelodysplastic syndrome, or lymphoma can cause both low hemoglobin and fever.

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?
according to TB guidelines you have to take medicine upto18 months then only u get better results in mri
