My husband is diagnosed with spine TB affected at 3 places one at the lower back joints. He was admitted and diagnosed in UK and docter here gave him 4 medicines (rifater and ethambutol) for 2 months. In the second week he got pleural effusion. He is about to finish his 2 month. for 3rd month they have prescribed different medicine (2 out of 4). He has gone to India for a month rest and consulted doctor over there, as per Indian doctor he needs to continue rifater and ethambutol for one more month. I am worried why two doctors are saying two different thing, and he again needs to come back to UK and would be continuing for treatment here. Please advise which doc to follow? Do we need to go for third opinion?

HI, I have TB in Lymph nodes of my arm pit. I was treated with ISONIAZID and ETHAMBUTOL for 1 year ( as I have side effects for Rifampin and PZA) and also a surgery was done 9 months back and the doctor removed my infected lymph node. My treatment was completed and stopped the medicines a week back. But now I feel pain again in my arm pit where the surgery was done. I m scared if the TB has come back again. Are there any blood tests to check in your body (lymph nodes) if TB was there or not? My doctor told the only way to test whether the TB is there in Lymph nodes is to do the Biopsy. PLease let me know. I appreciate if any doctor or Specialist can respond to this question. Thanks in advance. Regards NK
