Doctors Warn: COVID-19 Vaccines May Reactivate Latent Tuberculosis Infections

Recent medical reports have raised concerns about the potential reactivation of latent tuberculosis (TB) following COVID-19 vaccination. While lymphadenopathy is a common and typically mild side effect post-vaccination, there have been instances where prolonged lymph node swelling has unveiled subclinical extrapulmonary TB. Additionally, studies have documented cases where COVID-19 infection itself has led to the activation of latent TB. These findings underscore the importance of monitoring TB symptoms in individuals receiving COVID-19 vaccines, especially in regions with high TB prevalence. Healthcare professionals are advised to remain vigilant and consider TB reactivation in patients presenting with persistent lymphadenopathy post-vaccination. We'd love to hear your perspective!
