I'm really worried because I had unprotected sex with a sex worker 7 and 8 months ago and I just had the fourth-generation p24 antigen test done at Lalpath Lab. It came back non-reactive with index values of .09 and .25. Is this result conclusive, or do you think I need to take another test? I'm not sure what to do next.

Its negative but get yourself tested 6 months once for a period of 2 years as you had a risky exposure

View allI'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.
Yes ,continue same treatment as advised by the pulmonologist. If symptoms re-appear pulmonologist opinion is advised.

I'm really concerned about the different types of typhoid. Can you tell me which one is more serious, the H typhi or the O typhi? I'm worried about which one poses a bigger threat to health.
H typhi and O typhi are both serovars of the bacteria Salmonella enterica. H typhi is also known as Salmonella typhi, which causes typhoid fever in humans. O typhi is another serovar of Salmonella enterica, but it is not commonly associated with causing disease in humans. For the treatment of typhoid fever caused by Salmonella typhi (H typhi), antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Azithromycin are commonly prescribed. The dosage and duration of treatment may vary depending on the severity of the infection and other factors.

I'm dealing with a 99-degree fever after having typhoid for two months. Even though Ive recovered from typhoid, this mild fever still lingers. My fever panel results are normal and my chest X-ray looks fine. What additional tests should I consider to figure out what's causing this fever?
To further investigate the cause of your persistent low-grade fever after recovering from typhoid, I would recommend the following tests. Blood culture to check for any bacterial infection. Urine culture to rule out urinary tract infection. Widal test to ensure complete recovery from typhoid. Dengue NS1 antigen test to rule out dengue fever. Malaria antigen test to rule out malaria. Typhidot test for typhoid fever. Liver function tests to assess liver health post-typhoid. Complete blood count (CBC) to check for any underlying infection or inflammation. Serology tests for other viral infections like hepatitis. Thyroid function tests to rule out thyroid disorders causing fever These tests will help in identifying the underlying cause of your persistent fever and guide further treatment.
