(LATENT TB)
Hi,
I am suffering something which i dont know ...for the first time i did my blood test every thing was normal apart from the platelet count which was less.Doctor said there is nothing to worry about it ...but i used to feel weak and my whole body slightly shivers , so my doctor gave me some anti-biotics and vitamins. I was ok for sometime but it started again again all the test were done , x-rays, ct-scans everything was normal apart frm the platelet..so we decided to consult a haematologist after diagnosing the blood sample his opnion was positive..that nothing is wrong with the platelet they are just clotted..so nothing to worry abt.but the symptoms remained..so my doctor referred me to a TB specialist who did some test again nothing was found but according to him he said it COULD be tb so he wanted to start tb medicene...but i wasnt convinced on that becoz reports were normal..so those meds were never started....I am facing this problem now since last three years and just want to know can this be latent TB if yes which tests should i go for so that it is detected bcoz i have read about latent tb ,,which says latent TB can remain undetectd for years without any symtomps.
