Neurologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I assume by TB you mean tuberculosis? If you mean something else please clarify. In case it is tuberculosis indeed then I am afraid it is a serious diagnosis. CT scan alone I am not sure that is enough to be sure about the diagnosis, MRI, as well as some other tests such as blood tests, skin test, x-ray, may be necessary. If the diagnosis is confirmed then treatment with several anti-tuberculosis drugs for many months will be necessary. It is a complex diagnosis for which specialist opinion and follow up is needed I am afraid.

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

Regards,
Dr. Olsi Taka, Neurologist
