Symptoms of tuberculosis - a very complex disease

[@PreludeSon]

Good to know and thanks for explaining what TB is

[@lundkim86]

Thank you for post an in-depth description. Fantastic job !

[@zarakhan7820]

I had my right lung removed because of a tumor. Now they say I have TB . I don't understand because I have no cough. I'm very tierd all the time . But TB had not come in to my blood.

[@presoonjames438]

Thank you doctor this information helped us a lot. 🙏🏽 My wife got sign of inactivie TB in a test. Actually she is going to abroad on next month therefore there was a necessary medical examine and they found out inactive TB. I understood what you said doctor but please tell us is there any specific check up prices we need to do ?

[@Naseem-c6c]

Where she is going and she got clearance certificate or not

[@antonm7191]

Does active TB always firstly need to begin in the lungs though? Or could someone still have TB infection e.g in lymph nodes, without lungs being affected?

[@XTIENNA]

It is probably unlikely due to the fact that you breath in the disease

[@turabalikhan1341]

Thankyou doctor. One quick question, how long can latent tuberculosis stay positive (in quantiferon gold plus test) in your body before it is completely cleared? Can you still have latent tb after 15 years of being exposed? (Living in the same house with 2 smear positive tb mdr family members one of whom died 15 years ago and the other apparently cured of the disease)

Did you get any answers?

[@yuvaryugam3434]

@@turabalikhan1341 well, so did you get started on preventive medicines for latent TB? Did you do any tests like mantoux or IGRA(TB gold)?

[@cghrios783]

@@turabalikhan1341did you do the treatment? What did they give you?

[@turabalikhan1341]

@@cghrios783 I got quantiferon gold plus test and mantoux both came negative. My wife had quantiferon gold plus and mantoux test positive. We went to see the best pulmonologist but he said it's latent and doesn't need to be treated since we are from a country where almost one third of the population has latent TB and therefore he didn't treat it. He said if we wanted to travel abroad only then need treatment. Only about 4 to 10% develope active tb at some point in their lives, he said. So we just came back. The reason we got tested was because of multiple misscariages btw. But according to him and 10 other doctors tb supposedly had nothing to do with it.

[@agrotte]

Very clear explanation, thanks. Can the test for TB can be done with saliva?

[@gummybear777]

Very well explained!!

[@martialofficial619]

My two known person died out of Tuberculosis just before I got Pulmonary TB and one of my friends along with me had the same but he had in his spine and i completed my treatment after taking the medicines for almost 1 year and my friend completed his treatment few months after medicines i completed and we both were fine and going good but after a year I guess my friend got the TB again and he didn't survived and after knowing his dead I had Anxieties and always worried about getting back? What should I do i go for checkups and do x-rays doctor always finds some fibrosis in my lungs but they don't give me medicines?

[@beverlyfrancis8433]

Thank you for detailed information

[@BIGGZ_SHAN]

I'm aged 34 and today I found out I have latent t.b which can wake up and become active at anytime●😠😤😡🤬

[@XTIENNA]

My mom has latent TB FOR 50 YEARS AND NO PROBLEMS, WE MOVED TO TEXAS WARMER WINTERS SO SHE CAN NOT GET PNUEMONNIA SO EASILY

[@BIGGZ_SHAN]

@@XTIENNA 🤔 So there is a high possibility the latent t.b can remain latent and I won't slowly die🙃

[@XTIENNA]

@@BIGGZ_SHAN yes.. But you must know if you have any lung damage and be careful doing extreme labor or running. Or jogging before you go to the doctor. Have a doctor check your lungs

[@XTIENNA]

@@BIGGZ_SHAN Everyone is different so be cautious until you know if any lung damage is minor vs major

Thank you doctor for you advice

[@paulfri1569]

No cure for TB?

[@XTIENNA]

Cure but it takes several months.. if you follow directions precisely and never miss a dose everyday.. If you wait too long .. you can die

[@DrStefanCristianStanel]

TB is actually one of the few conditions in medicine that is curable. Just requires taking the correct medication for a fairly long time, but in the vast majority of cases this results in a cure.
