Asking for Wife, Female, 29 years old, Lahore
My wife delivered a healthy baby on January 11, 2020. During C-sec, doctor observed some nodes in her abdomen and took some sample and sent for biopsy/histopathology. Its report showed that there is suspicion of omental tuberculosis. We were then referred to Gastroenterologist for further work up of TB. The Gastro doctor asked for chest x-ray and CT scan (abdomen and pelvis), reports attached. Upon seeing the reports, the doctor advised CA-125 test (report enclosed). We want seek some advice from a senior consultant that what does these reports say and what is the significance of CA-125 in our case.
PS: No history of cough, fever or weight loss.
start anti tuberculosis medicine.Histopathology report is sufficient to establish disease.
Since the CT scan didnot find any significant lymphnodes we need to revisit the biopsy report and take a second opinion on the same slides.Could be reactice lymph nodes lisread as tuberculous.Dr Khawar Abbas Chaudhry
