FNAC reports tuberculosis okay but auto-immune phenomena is also active in your sisters case. She must get in touch with a rheumatologist immediately to monitor and manage both the disease and joint pains. This has to be on periodical basis and some regular tests shall be needed.In auto immune discrepancy tuberculosis and some systemic diseases are to be carefully and intensively treated
