Can Mantoux Test For Tuberculosis Be Different For EDS(Ehlers Danlos Syndrome) Patient?

Hi Doctor, I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and I had a MANTOUX test for tuberculose. Can it be different on a patient with EDS (the result of the mantoux on the arm) Things like local anesthesy are also running away in my body (tissue of skin is weak) But what about a Mantoux test done on a EDS patient?

Hi,

Yes, Both the drugs are from the same group called bisphosphonates.
Reclast is sufficient for osteoporosis.
If you have taken Reclast then you can stop Alendronate. But you can take vit D3 and calcium supplements.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Gaurang B Shah, Orthopaedic Surgeon
