Intestinal TB , cured but same symptoms
I had intestinal TB , I took medication for 12 months , after completion of medication I went for colonoscopy and Dr said only pseudopolyps there and I got recovered ,
But i am feeling my intestine is bleeding , when I checked with CBC test I found I have low platelet counts than normal , though my Gastro Dr is not believing that my intestine is bleeding ,
But when I was on TB antibiotics I was fine , since I left antibiotics after a month sometimes I feel my body is shivering or flu types symptoms , when Dr found my TB through histopathology and biopsy at that time he used GeneXpert test and it showed Rifampicin INDETERMINATE , but my Gastro Dr suggested to take first line TB drugs as I never had TB before ..
But I am worried whether it was/is normal TB or MDR TB ? I don't know why do I have body shivering symptoms and flu type symptoms most of the times .
Thank you for your attention .
Kindly help if you can . 🙏 ...
Your symptoms suggest possible post-TB treatment complications or crohn's disease
or a need to rule out MDR (Multi-Drug Resistant) TB, especially given the persistent symptoms after completing treatment....
Schedule an consultation with your TB(Infection disease specslist)specialist
Get PET Scan whole body to see for any residual disease in the intestine or outside the intestine as advised by your treating doctor
If your health care consultant(Tb specslist) requests for TB culture and drug sensitivity testing, GeneXpert MTB/RIF test to check for drug resistance..go with them
Remember to avoid self-medication and consult your Infection disease specialist doctor (Tb specialist)promptly for proper evaluation and management of these symptoms....
I wish you speedy recovery...
