Can History Of Fish TB Cause Swollen Nodules And In Arms?
I had fish tb about 20 years ago, after a cut from my home aquarium on my hand, became infected. I saw a skin specialist who diagnosed the problem and was given antibiotics for 6 months. The nodules have started to grow again and i am experiencing a lot of pain all the way up my arm. Could this be recurring now?

Hello dear
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .
* This seems in relation with different possibilities as
- recurrence of TB - non specific lymph node - infection with other
organisms giving lymph node enlargement in drainage areas .
* A biopsy confirmation or FNAC would be preferred modality to proceed .
Regards dear take care .
