[|Human|] My Mom is suffering from recurrent fever from last seven days.She had an severe attack of UTI in 2009 which was treated with penems for a 15 day period which resulted in normal urine routine and culture test.Also around 11 yrs ago she suffered from abdominal TB, which was also successfully taken care of.Now she is suffering with this fever, so as per MPs suggestion v did the routine and culture wherein the routine showed pus cells and bacterial prescence and culture showed no growth.So the MP told to do C- reactive protein which showed 14.1 which he suggested was very high.He also suggested lower abdomen + reproductive organ MRI which my mum refused as she is scared.Unofficially he suggested that the TB may have relapsed in the urinary tract but suggested with some medications for UTI to rule out UTI and then concentrate on TB.My question is what exactly is happening to my Mom.?How do i find out if it is the UT TB?
[|AI|]  Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor the symptoms of your mother shows less likely to be a tb usually the tb of UT presents with irritation micturition and blood discharge in urine, but as your mother has a previous history of tb better to rule out by diagnosing it the better diagnostic test is to get intravenous biography done other new tests are also available ACTED and PCR, you can consult your mp about these test and get it done, take care
