A member asked:
Is there any new method to diagnose intestinal tuberculosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
R/O. TB: TB can be very difficult to diagnose. You need a full exam /blood work. Lab serology to check for TB presence and sputum samples on 3 separate days as well as CT scan of Chest/Abd/Pelvis. GI consult for Endoscopy and Colonoscopy . If results come back positive sensitivity is critical to decide on proper regimen.
