Question 1

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?

Question 2

Hello doctor, my Mantoux test was done two days ago. I attached pictures. Can you please tell me if it is positive or negative? Today the pathology lab where my test was done is closed for 2 days, so please help me. My past history: I was diagnosed with tuberculosis 2 years ago and completed my full course. After doctor consultation, medicine was stopped after 1 year. Again, due to pain in my full body, my physician advised this test. Can you please tell me the result?

Question 3

My blood report shows a Mantoux test result with an induration of 22 mm, which is positive. What does this indicate?

I am a TB patient having fluid in my lungs and pain in the chest due to the fluid. Some fluid was removed previously by a doctor and checked in the lab which confirmed TB.

TB related fluid in the lungs, pleural effusion can cause chest pain. Since TB is confirmed, continue the full course of medication as advised. Pain should improve gradually with treatment.
