levofloxacin tb

My friend has an attack of TB, after 14 years healthy.She is taking Levofloxacin 500. Is there anything available that will do the trick with less side effects, she is quite sick and I'm worried she might not make it. She is Indonesian and the standard of medical care here leaves plenty to be desired. Any advice would be dearly appreciated.

but my chest xray was fine and CBC showed WBC was a bit high. the physician said i have acute bronchitis and prescribed me some Levofloxacin. i got better after taking the antibiotics for 10 days. But since then i am having weird feeling about my chest for 2 months. I always feel there is something(phlegm?) in my chest and i feel some chest pressure. and i still cough a little sometimes, but not productive. Is there anything wrong with my chest?

I was given many antibiotics and last time I was given broad spectrum antibiotics. Crixan 500mg, Levofloxacin 500mg. Since then pain in lymph nodes little bit decreased.

If I don't demand anything else, I will be given same antibiotics.

I now understand that levofloxacin can cure E. I thought it had to cure C or G, which would in turn cure my E. But it seems, though I'd like someone to confirm it if you have any knowledge, that levofloxacin directly cures E. New question: Epididymitis was cured by levofloxacin in 2 days but why and what caused my E in the first place? Theory: Maybe my scrotum skin was weak during sex and it got infected during the sex process, but not by any STD.

So I just found out that my fiancé's sister has TB... And I visited with her in December. She had it then and was not on medication as she refuses to take her medicine in general. Do I need to be screened for TB? I haven't had any contact with her face to face since December, but she does still have TB. Is this something I need to be concerned with? I'm worried and the last time I had a TB skin test was Fall of 2013 and it was negative then.

A skin test was done and it was very positive (20 mm +), however I do not sweat or show other symptoms beside a chronic cough and shortness of breath (so they don’t think its active TB….active TB would show those symptoms with weight loss etc etc). Due to my age (26), non-smoker and pretty healthy, they are thinking latent TB for the time being, but more tests will need to get done. I am also very nervous. Hope its latent TB and not lung cancer.

t mean you have TB, but at some point in your life you have been exposed to TB. Usually, a positive TB test is followed up with a chest X-Ray to confirm that you do not have TB. Being exposed to TB does not prevent you from working with the elderly, but having TB would. Hope this helps.

Hi and sorry that your question wasn't answered earlier. You can be exposed to the bacteria that causes TB and not get sick for years until you get low immunity then it can possibly turn into TB. So if you think you were exposed you can get a TB test. The best one is the quantiferon gold test. An Xray can also tell if you have any walling off of TB cells but it won't tell if you had active TB.
