I am a 23 year old girl suffering from XDR lymphatic tuberculosis and I have been on medication for the last 13 months. The medicines are moxifloxacin, clofazimine, delamanid, bedaquiline and cycloserine. I took capreomycin injection for 8 months. My reports are negative now but I am suffering from body ache, weakness in legs and hands, and breathlessness. My period is due in the next 3 to 4 days. Why is this happening and what should I do?

Post treatment fatigue, nerve effects esp. from cycloserine, and anemia or drug side effects could cause this. Breathlessness may need further evaluation. Track symptoms, take high protein diet, check hemoglobin.

Question

Hi Sir, she is 28 years old. The report shows skin induration 18 mm and erythema present. What does this report indicate? Please tell me which medicine is suggested.

I was diagnosed with a UTI, along with vaginal itching and discharge. My urine report continued to show the presence of pus cells. Recently, I have also been diagnosed with an ovarian cyst. My Mantoux test result is 10 by 15 mm, and my chest Xray is normal. Could this mean I am suffering from tuberculosis?

Question

I have been suffering from fever for the past month and there is a tumour-like swelling around my neck area. A doctor advised me to go for a USG-guided biopsy. In my report, it says features are suggestive of granulomatous lymphadenitis. No evidence of malignancy is noticed. What does it mean?
