Hello, I am suffering from tuberculosis from more than 1 year. After taking ATT for 6 months I developed tuberculosis lymphadenitis. Then I took on intensive tuberculosis treatment for 2 months with streptomycin in first line drugs. After this my tuberculosis lymphadenitis increase in size so I discontinue the treatment and go for better diagnosis. I go for AFB culture and Gene Xpert of lymphadenitis .My Gene Xpert shows "LOW MTB NOT RESISTANCE TO rifampicin" and my AFB shows" NO ACID FAST BACCI SEEN AFTER 6 WEEKS" After 1 month of discontinued treatment my medicine started again (R CINEX 600 AND COMBUTOL 600. I am taking ATT for lymphadenitis but my gland is still the same. I am 2nd time tb patient first in 2008. My chest xray is okay, ESR decreased to 20 from 40, I gained my weight from 56 to 63 kgs but I still have low grade fever 99-99.5.And what should I do for lymphadenitis? The size of largest lymph node is 37 mm�20 mm.

If size of lymph nodes have decreased or stationary with no TB toxaemia symtoms then continue TB treatment to complete minimum of 6 months treatment.
