Latent tuberculosis?
Sir,
This is Rachita Sharma. I was diagnosed with lymph node tuberculosis in 2017 and successfully completed the 10 months course. Now we are trying for a baby so doctor suggested a tb gold test. Attaching the reports for your reference.
Now the doctor might recommend treatment of latent tb. I am really scared and confused now. Not sure what should be my next step. I have no symptoms since I finished the treatment. At a healthy weight, no cough, CBC normal. Please advise what should I do next.
