Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

It is normal for a pt to reduce weight in tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is known to cause suppurative lymphadenopathy, usually lymph nodes swelling subsides with anti-tuberculous treatment, but since your lymph nodes suppurates and are not healing surgical intervention to remove the involved lymph node (one which is suppurating to the outside) is necessary.

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

Regards,
Dr. Rohan Shanker Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
