A member asked:
My brother was just diagnosed with tuberculosis lymph glands how serious is that ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fairly: Any infection with tuberculosis is cause for concern; however, if it is just in his lymph nodes, his chance of complete recovery with appropriate therapy is very good. He will need to be on several months of multiple antibiotics, however.
