Hello, XXXXXXX,
You state that you have been treated for TB 4 years ago.
I am assuming that was the pulmonary(Lung) variety.
Most important findings from your CT-Scan are the
enlarged lymph glands around the intestne and the
thickening of the lower small bowel at the junction
of the large intestine. These type of findings are seen
in Crohn's disease and also tuberculosis involving that
part of the intestine.
I agree with your gastroenterologist that a colonoscopy
would be very helpful in ruling out Crohn's.
CT -guided biopsy of the lymph node may be helpful
to rule out TB.But, if there is strong suspicion of Crohn's
biopsy could cause problems.
You should get blood tests -IBD Panel.If positive,further
tests can be ordered and there are effective drugs to
achieve remission, since we still don't have a cure.
Right now all your blood, urine and stool tests all look
normal except for CRP which is mildly elevated and this
is non-specific.
There is no reason to fear colonoscopy procedure.
This is done even in children.
Procedure is life saving.
I wish you well.
