Patient's question:
Doctor, after I had a tubal contrast examination, the doctor questioned tuberculosis. They then performed a T-cell spot test for tuberculosis infection (T-SPOTTB), and the results were positive. Now, should we consider active tuberculosis?Doctor's answer:
Cannot diagnose it as definitely tuberculous salpingitis, but a positive tuberculous T-lymphocyte test indicates that you have been infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tuberculous T-lymphocytes and PPD are used to confirm tuberculosis. As for tuberculous salpingitis, clinical diagnosis suggests a high possibility of it being caused by tuberculosis, but it cannot be definitively diagnosed. Diagnosis requires taking tissue samples from the inflamed area of the fallopian tubes for pathological examination.The daily treatment for gynecological patients primarily involves symptomatic treatment. Patients can take various oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and pay attention to regular sleep patterns, while avoiding alcohol.
