Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your sister report suggests tuberculosis lymphadenitis,it means lymph nodes are enlarged and infected due to tuberculous infection.
As diagnosis is confirmed,she need anti-tubercular drugs.
She will be alright after treatment.
Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care
