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.
I had it 15 years ago don't remember much but the cough & the steel band compressing my chest, & in bed for a month. Had a chest xray this year and was told my lungs were tb scarred. 🇨🇦
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?
@@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
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)
@@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.
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?
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 ?
Te rog ajutama.. Am fost la doctor pentru kidney they will do a infusion And now they said ca am tb But they s sleeping Mor trimes la pentru lungs He said he is not seeing anything in the exray But they want to put ke an rifadim But i do not have no simtams At all

Hi Dr, I have a question I was diagnosed with tuberculosis when I was around 20 years old but in from Mexico and I heard that when we get the vaccine, is the actual virus on the shot I had X-rays and has been negative, about 12 years ago I developed a skin condition and I’m wondering if this has anything to do with it , my skin gets a really itchy reaction to humidity and my skin get like a chill reaction and gets extremely itchy I’m living a really miserable life because of this please help ! 😢
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.
Exactly signs I have been feeling for months but don’t know And I feel Cold every time then sometimes heat at night I went for lab test for malaria test and blood too And the laboratory man insist I go for x-ray I’m so lean like God for bid But they gave be drugs for 6month
@@DrStefanCristianStanel hello doctor I have suffering with tb long time and get treatment three times different time and I have still tuberculosis when I met the doctor he said to me operation for lung
I have a question can TB come back in someone that had it before in the 1950, i had a loved one that said she was hurting in the area of her lung where she had TB before.

It is probably unlikely due to the fact that you breath in the disease
"I gave you all I had"
Good explanation
I just found out today, Aug. 21,2023, that I have TB. I'm 64 years old. This is a wow for me.
What did you feel when you got it?
@@noneyabusiness88 Shocked
What treatment did you have?
I'm aged 34 and today I found out I have latent t.b which can wake up and become active at anytime●😠😤😡🤬
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
@@XTIENNA 🤔 So there is a high possibility the latent t.b can remain latent and I won't slowly die🙃

No cure for TB?
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
