Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
The lymph node biopsy report findings is suggestive of tubercular lymphadenitis, which means that you have tuberculosis and has shown to affect your lymph nodes. Hence, you need to take the treatment for tuberculosis as suggested by your doctor, although other tests may be negative.
Kindly take the complete course of treatment for tuberculosis as it is completely curable, otherwise, you may land up in complications associated with it.
Hope the information provided would be useful.
All the best.
