hello vjers!!

as you might have read with my past posts, i was very worried with my 5 year old son because he had primary complex before and they had him do sputum twice.. the smears were ALL POSITIVE. that's why we were expecting that the result of the culture would be all bad. Just today (8th week), we went to St. Luke's and the result was NEGATIVE OF TB! :dance: :dance: they said they will release his papers after the result of the 2nd culture are out which will be december 9. HOPEFULLY, the second one will be negative too. hopes are high!!

that's great.. my cousin also had the same experience and she was diagnosed to have a primary complex positive, she's 6 y/o and slec instructed her to continue her medication in US.. The difference is she no longer did the culture test and went through..

Good news! Congratx rixx. :star:

On the other side of the same coin, a person can have all negative smears yet have a positive culture.
