small size lymphnodes are stays for 15 to 20 days and disappears after that my doctor prescribed me Tab Lynx for lymphnodes.last week i have checked for tuberculosis test. it came possitive “14mm”.but in Elisa test it came negative.my HIV test also came negative.
But i have doubt Of HIV or other STD’s because i am in contact with the girl from last 2 years.i came to know that she is now having sexual contact with another guy i dont know that guy having HIV or not.
No, the meds nor the TB will not affect HIV results. Your last test proves you did not get HIV from your encounter.
Is it common for a chest ray to be the main source of diagnosis for tuberculosis. In 2006 my husband was treated for tb because of this x ray only. Skin and Sputum test were negative. What is usually the reason for this. He tested negative for hiv, and I know that can be a reason some times. Other than the tuberculosis he had treatment and he fine.
ve beewn coughing for more than 3 weeks.
Tuberculosis (through sensitive ELISA test), cancers of lung, esophagus, lymphoma, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, cystic fibrosis, and histoplasmosis. A PET scan may be diagnostic. If this does not yield results then yes, a lymph node biopsy may be required (however, before that it is important to rule out tuberculosis).
Rheumatoid arthritis too can cause swollen lymph nodes and fever. Hence, may be she is having a flare of rheumatoid arthritis. This needs to be ruled out.
I was in South Africa in September 2011 and had protected sex with 4 CSWs. I got myself tested after the 3 month mark and the result was negative (Elisa test for HIV 1 +2)
Rest of the points have already been shared with you in chronological order in my previous post. I would request you take a look at them again in conjunction with the new info I provided and provide me your valuable comments on the following points
1) Does this change anything as far my status goes?
50,
TB clinic have appointment for 28 Nov, for may be skin test,,before this I will do Xray in order to expedite screening.
I can say that in Canada health system is like magic- doctors spreading files //tests allover the city and doing like zero clue.
As far as severe growth hormone deficiency, Endo doctor must start replacement therapy, for best reason for her ,I dont know why she will hesitate for this.
A sputum test done 3x is the standard test for tuberculosis. A prophylactic TB medication may be recommended since dry cough, fever at night, and weight loss are main symptoms of this disease. However, exposure and positive findings on the chest xray, sputum tests must be present.
Take care and keep us posted.
Today I was out with a friend. After that she told me that her family member is in hospital as he has tuberculosis. But I don't know what kind of tb it is. I am quite paranoid about this as afraid they as the family members stay together but they didn't test also. Is there any risk involved? She did cough once when I was standing in front of her.
thank you for the information,it's such a relief.....hope the lab test that they will do to him now will be a negative result also.....again tnx sir........
What this is saying is that, first, you do not have tuberculosis, but since on the skin test you tested positive, that means you have been exposed to it at some point between now and your last test. It also means that each skin test in the future will show up as positive, as you have been exposed and thus your body will remember that, which means that you will always need to get a chest xray to confirm that you are negative.
About more than 13 years ,spine doctor started Tuberculosis treatment after seeing spine-lower part, but I did not started treatment, does this is normal that during this period TB has been settled or spread to other organs.
5-6 month back CT shows lung nodule size 5mm, catching infections frequently. Now doctor ask for chest XRAY,
Please guide that this is possible that I develop TB signs slow and slow during this period. Today X ray was done.
1) why is the PCR test after 6 weeks not as reliable as ELISA? Is the PCR negative result after 6 weeks conclusive enough?
2) It has been said that the amount of virus will reach a peak at about 22 days after infection, and start to decrease then keep stable for a long period, why is this happening? If it is due to the antibody, then what will happen for those people who is not able to generate antibody(extremely rare)? Will they skip the incubation period and turn to AIDS very soon?
Hi everybody there, i have been diagonised with intrathoracic lymph nodes tuberculosis with no symptoms.The lypmhadenopathy was seen after flourography in 2009 i ran all tests for tuberculosis and were negative again this year the lymphadenopathy was still there, and the following tests came positive for tuberculosis : mantoux test & lung biopsy through bronchoscopy urine,blood & sputum came clean,still upto now no symptoms but i have started TB's treatment almost a month now.
No. Tuberculosis, MTB or TB (short for tubercle bacillus) is a common and in some cases deadly infectious disease caused by various strains of mycobacteria, usually Mycobacterium tuberculosis in humans.[1] Tuberculosis usually attacks the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body. It is spread through the air when people who have an active MTB infection cough, sneeze, or otherwise transmit their saliva through the air.
This past week he is begining to cough more. We took him to the Dr. for an allergy test. He has no environmental allergies. She listened to his lungs and heard a slight wheeze on his exhalation. SHe prescribed him with QVAR and Flonase and wants to see him back in 6 weeks. So my question, could he have caught TB from this guy that spit on him? Or am I over reacting?
Thanks!
His diagnosis was it is a type of tuberculosis that affects eyes.but his chest x ray came without any problems.Could you please explain to me what might be the problem.below I am sending the blood test result as attatchment.He is a 21 year old tall and slim guy.He some times get some skin rashes and other than that he doesn't have any health problems.should he start the tuberculosis treatment?
i have done a test last week for Tuberculosis it shows positive and re do the same test at the same hospital after 5 days it says negative but still i have this this dry cough and fever i have no found any other sines of Tuberculosis from me ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Are these results conclusive for being negative for HIV or do I need to get another ELISA again on 90 days post? The odds I've figured for myself are about 1/20,000,000,000 which makes me feel pretty good (using 3% incidence which is probably very high in the first place). I've also read that the difference between 82 and 90 days is irrelevant. However, it's just one of those things where a very slight possibility still seems uncomfortable.
i already pass the 3 month period to get tested for HIV
my question is , "HIV AG\AB test" after the three months it will be searching for the AB as well as it search for the AG if it found it,
so what is the method used to search for the AB in the (HIV AG\AB) test , 2- is is better than the method in Elisa AB test after 3 months , 3- if i did h="hiv AG\AB" test after three months " is it conclusive as if i did HIV Elisa AB test"
thanks in advance
