1st respondent TB: This is just too vague! Some pertinent questions I would like to ask regarding history: History of occupation, exposure, travel, contact, pets; any prior h/o TB or fever with rash, any family h/o similar illness, treatment history, transfusion history.

RB: Thanks Tamoghna. The patient had no significant previous medical history, nor was there any family history of note. He was not on any medication although he had taken creatine supplements as part of a body building programme in the recent past. He had never smoked and drank alcohol rarely. He had not used any other recreational drugs.

RB: Don't have the data on his occupation and there is no history of exposure, travel, pets and no history of TB fever or rash.
TB: Was there associated fever? If yes, the grade and type? Did the fever respond to over the counter OTC meds?
