I had TB of the lymph nodes in 2001 or there about. It was diagnosed with a biopsy of the lump under my arm. Docs thought it was cat scratch fever. The Wegs was not active at the time. I never had TB of any other organ but the lymph.
From what I understand TB is rare in other organs if it isn't present in the lungs. The TB blood test must be new as that wasn't available 20 years ago. Any chance of getting a biopsy to get definitive answer?
TB can lie dormant for years. It encapsulates itself and hides out.
Feel better and good luck with everything. Keep us posted. Have they put you on any meds?
