[|AI|]  Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Swollen lymph nodes, fever, and weigh loss and variety of other negative test lead bus to the tuberculosis on your father. I advise you should test the biopsy for ZN staining, this will guide us for the tuberculosis bacilli. Once it comes positive also test for the Inexpert test. It will guide us for the possible resistant in the TB bacteria. This will help full in the treatment. The test result will be available in few hours. Please give them a mask to wear over face. This will prevent the bacilli shedding and infection to the family will be prevented. Please give them high protein diet. Avoid more spicy food. E.cold in urine may be found normally, if the colony count is more than 1 lac than we can count it as possible pathogen. You can advise them plenty of water. This will flush out some bacteria present in the urinary tract. Immediately start the therapy of the TB once diagnosed. This treatment should be taken regularly and completed. Incomplete treatment can cause resistant among the bacteria. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
