Pleuritic pain when deep breathing.
I had got diagnosed with Pulmonary TB in 2011 on my left lung with pleural effusion. Have completed ATK treatment for 9 months. Certified by doctor to stop the medication. I had couple of beers in office party. next day i had chills but temperature was 98 F. Consulted doctor and got the chest CT plain plus IV contrast. Impression is apical right pleural thickening with mild fibrosis on right lung upper lobe suggests old healed pulmonary koch's but i had PTB in left lung. Do i need to worry?
No you need not worry. Keep all treatment records properly.
Record temperature 6 hourly and if the rise of temperature persists for long duration that is greater than 6 weeks then consider sputum for AFB,CBNAAT to exclude the possibility of relapse.
