Hi

there is a wide range of differential diagnosis for fever with cough. Your Sister in law is 29. any contact with TB patient ? Has she lost weight ?
What is differential counts of CBC. ESR LDH beta microglobin .Liver function. CT chest perhaps will help. how long had she had this problem?

She might need a bronchoscopy to wash her lungs for TB culture. Has she ever had raw milk ? this can give Brucela.Lymphoma is uncommon but can happen and give symptoms like you have said.

There is no such thing as primary complex as diagnosis. it is a radiology and pathology term. Whether she has got TB or something else you to see a chest Physician. hope this helps.
