What Could Cause To Restart Of Draining In A Anti-tb Treatment?
Hi, I am a medical doctor. A young man of 30 years old was brought to me at the end of December 2013 with a draining neck lymphadenitis that was caused by TB. He was on Tb treatment for 2 months with no effect. I decided to debride the area et it heals for a while. One week back, it restarts draining again despite anti-tb treatment. May I conclude that it is MDR tb of cervical lymph nodes? My e-mail address is YYYY@YYYY . Thank you.
HI Well come to HCM Tubercular lymph node abscess wound healed little late, you need to remove the whole node, if there is small mount of caseous material left then healing would not possible and you have to take care for this, better try to inoculate the lesion completely, MDR is very less likely ,hope this helps.
