Hi Doctor,
My wife is pregnant (18weeks) so far all the tests for the baby are very good. 3weeks ago her neck wasn't feeling well and we thought at that time that it might be a stiff neck but as time passed her neck got swollen. Last week we went to our hospital and the doctor suggested it might be Lymph Node Tuberculosis. After we did the PPD skin test the result read 2cm x 2cm which in all cases are read as Positive i think. There is another sample test they took out of the Lymph Nodes and sent to the Lab. We have yet to receive the result for this test tomorrow. If my wife is diagnosed with Lymph Node TB, what are the possible steps for us?
Is it possible to treat the TB during pregnancy and still have the baby?

Thank you very much.

My friend diagnosed with nurocysticircosis initailly on the basis of onset of seizures,CT Scan, blood tests and negative TB Skin test. Later another nurologist advised for a MRI and the radiolgist reported it as a perietal tuberculomas (multiloculated well enhanced lesions with perifocal odema, raised Cho/Cr ratio with lipid lactet peak) and the was splaced on ATT treatment. On a second opinion, another nuerologist thinks that its a case of Nuerocystic and the radiologist might have misdiagnosied it. Now my friend is on the cross roads whether to take the TB medication or not? Can you please suggest what would be the better option? Whether to continue with TB medication or take another radialogist or nuerologist opinion on the MRI or a new MRI? He is worried about the side effects of taking TB medication if TB doesn't exists on the same note not wanting to take risk if it is a TB...What would be the conclusive diagnosis and what you suggest the plan of action to be?


Thanks in advance,,,

Hi .. My mother is undergoing haemodialysis(twice a week) for the last 8 months and was on PD for 4 years before that. (She had peritonitis and had her PD catheter removed. ) She is now having extreme gastro problem with indigestion, gas and continuous vomiting(vomits almost anything she eats). There were some abdominal fluid collections but now they have reduced considerably. Following are the results of the latest whole abdomen CT scan :
1) The study reveals a small well loculated collection seen along the left anterior abdominal wall with a peripheral rim enhancement measuring approx(17x30x36)mm in size with tethering of the small bowel and Dilation of the small bowel loops with mucosal edema with few tiny discrete mesentric lymph nodes.
2) A ground glass appearance is seen in the peri pacreatic region with few discrete tiny subcentric nodes. No abnormal collection seen.

Other details:
1) Her gall bladder was removed about 10 years back due to stones.
2) Her haemodialysis is done via her neck. Her fistula has failed thrice because of weakness.
3) Her latest blood report suggested low Bicarbonate (15 mEq/L - reference range= 22 - 29).
4) Current weight ~ 40 kg
5) She was also diagnosed with abdominal TB during the episode of Peritonitis and given medication for it but the entire dosage was not completed.

She is having extreme pain in her belly for the past few weeks and gas problem along with daily vomiting.
Kindly advice on treatment, dietary suggestion/restriction.
