What Is The Treatment For Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis?
I was diagnosed with extrapulmonary TB in September 2010 while previously treated for sarcoidosis. I do have granulomas. After 5weeks on Rifafour e-275, I actually feel even just as bad, but for the shivers. I suffer cracking headaches in the morning and back acke. My left backside (i think it is the spleen) aches constantly and is tender and painful when sitting against a chair. Couldmy spleen be infected an d what else. Im female 54yrs of age. Very depressed feelings bug me constantly- as if I dont care at all.
You need to go for an ultrasound abdomen and CT scan abdomen if needed to rule out any abdominal diseases. Kindly, review for splenic tuberculosis or healed tuberculosis.
