A member asked:

If every showing normal then how can we diagnose intestinal tb treatment failures?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Good question but: this is a good question but have all the test been done. Some of the simple tests may not show intestinal tuberculosis. You need to discuss with your physician and have you see an infectious disease specialist and a gastroenterologist
