My son has bone tuberculosis. Is it posible to have bone tuberculosis, and not to have on lungs.?

Yes, it is possible. Tuberculosis can affect organs other than the lungs (also called extra-pulmonary tuberculosis). Tubercular osteomyelitis (or TB of the bone) is quite hard to treat, but with the help of surgical debridement (removal of dead bone) and at least 6 months of multi-drug therapy (typically 2 months of 3 medications, followed by 4 months of 2 medications), your son can expect good recovery.

If cost is an issue, you can go for the surgical option (if needed) to a government hospital. In addition, for the 6 months of medicines, you can go to a government run DOTS centre which offers free treatment with the same medications provided by the World Health Organization (WHO). I wish your son a speedy recovery.

Yes Sir , its quite common to have bone tuberculosis & not have any lesion in the lungs.

Usually lungs is the commonest port of entry for TB bacteria and also commonest organ affected. But it is not always the first organ or only organ to be affected. Medical treatment is usually the same as for lung disease but for a longer duration.

Depending the location of the infected bone sometimes there may be a necessity for surgical intervention to avoid local complications. It is usually a curable disease if treatment is started in time, and given for proper duration. Medicines for TB are among the cheapest medicines available.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
