Tuberculosis
My mother had fluid in her right lungs. Doctor suggested us to take x ray and pa report. In report there was suggestions of both fungal and TB for the cause.(None in my family is suffering from TB)Then doctor advised for plueral tapping, even before getting the results from the lab doctor advised us get take medication both fungal and TB. Is it ok take medicine of TB in advance. Even we asked doctor about it but they told that they have given half of the dose.( Medication Rcinex and ethambutol for TB and voriconazole for fungal infection).
