Hello, Thanks for using Healthcaremagic. i had gone through the data you have posted. so according to your description when you were on ATT for lung TB after 7 months of therapy you got lymph node TB. whether that lymphnode was present before or new onset. if that was of recent onset we need to rule out drug resistant tuberculosis. send that lymphnode sample for TB culture and sensitivity and meanwhile you need to started on cat 2 treatment. kindly rule out immunosuppression state like diabetes or retroviral illness or taking steroids. you need to be started on modified ATT with 2 HRZES+1HRZE+ 5 hRE or 6HR, meanwhile culture report may help modifying the duration and medications. Hope this helps..
